Help get the Murrays out of the country!
The plan is for our family to work at a family camp, in the mountains of Ecuador for a year. One Mission Society is the organization we are working under. We begin in September with language training at a missionary language institute in San Jose, Costa Rica.
We had planned to sell our home, and use the equity to fund our year volunteering abroad. We’ve kept our home “looking like a show-home” for a month (that’s tough on the five of us!).
We’re excited about registering for language training and booking our flights, but our house has not yet sold. So we’re prayerfully asking for help with funding.
Our OMS support account number is #08053
tax-deductible donations can be made by phone at
1-800-784-7077 or
through the OMS website http://www.onemissionsociety.org/give/express-donations

We would REALLY appreciate your prayers as we endeavor to be actively involved in God’s work in Ecuador.

June 2011 update
Thank you to the wonderful congregation of St Pauls Anglican church for inviting us to share our plans with them! What a lovely morning we had reconnecting with old friends!
Our plans are evolving as the summer draws near. We're now looking at a mid-August departure date. This should give us time to sell our home in St Albert, before heading to language training in the capital city of Costa Rica. Don's mom is planning to join us for the 6 six weeks that we'll be in San Jose for language training; "grandma" is going to take care of our three children, while we are in classes full days, each day. We are thrilled about this new development!
We anticipate heading directly from Costa Rica to Ecuador. We are excited about getting to Camp Pallatanga!

It's May already!
Our family is so excited about heading to Camp Pallatanga in Ecuador!
We are in the throws of getting organized . . . its a bit overwhelming, so we appreciate your prayers! One Mission Society (OMS) is doing a fantastic job of organizing all kinds of details for us: like cross-cultural training, language training, securing visas, prayer support, and communicating with those already in Ecuador.
We've been preparing to sell our house. Organizing home-schooling details. Finding a year-long dog sitter. Beginning to learn Spanish. And now we want to try to get organized to correspond with friends and family while we are away!!!!
Will we have internet in Ecuador? We hope so. It sounds like Camp Pallatanga has dial-up wireless internet, that reportedly works best from the end of the driveway.
We have lots of dreams and ideas about our year away. We also have lots of questions about the upcoming year. So we'll keep you posted.
Our plan is to leave this July, 2011, and return next July, 2012.
