Bring Otto Home: Our Ugandan Son

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Several months ago, God came crashing into our lives. Ready or not, we heard His call loud and clear. Now, we are choosing to follow God all the way to Uganda, Africa in hopes of bringing home our child. We believe God's plan for our family is so much bigger than what we ever imagined. We can't wait to introduce you to our son,  and Everly's brother, Otto (as we like to call him). 

Sharing our story to the world is scary. Scarier than we ever imagined. We are opening ourselves up to a world of criticism and judgment. But, God keeps reminding us to be brave because He knows the plans He has for us. So, as we step into unchartered waters, we invite you to take this journey with us. 


"You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" 
Whenever the fears of not having enough money to follow God's plan sink into our hearts and minds, this verse takes that fear away. God keeps reminding us to keep our faith big and our fear small. 

But, we do get afraid. As we've deleted and reworded this paragraph nothing else sounds better than just telling it like it is. It's not easy asking for help. But, we are asking for your prayers, your support, and your financial generosity. God never intended us to take this journey through life alone, and whether it's through your investment, your encouragement, or helping young Otto once we get him home, we need you. 

Please feel free to donate what you are able. Our good friends at BLDG designed an amazing tshirt to help portray our journey. This t-shirt includes a favorite line from the song, Oceans , by Hillsong United. We've found the phrase "spirit lead me where my trust is without borders" to speak exactly where we are...doing something we never would have intended, but leaning in to what we've been called to do. 

When making your contribution, please leave your t-shirt size (and number of t-shirts if you'd like multiple) in the comments section.  We're requesting a minimum donation of $25/shirt but are grateful for anything you can offer.

 Words can't express our gratitude. All we can say is a deep thanks, and look forward to having you on this journey with us. 

Love, 
Adam, Rachel, and Everly
