Ethiopia Sponsorship the Murle People
Partnering to Transform Lives of Murle Children
The Murle people of South Sudan and Ethiopia are an unreached community, with only about 2% identifying as evangelical Christians. In 2019, Ted Bertleson and local leader Lowoton secured permission from tribal chieftains to begin sharing the Gospel among the Murle. Through their dedicated efforts, by 2025, over 50 new believers were gathered and a new church was established.
The Murle in Ethiopia, numbering approximately 3,000, have endured severe hardships due to ongoing tribal conflicts. Tragically, about 20% of Murle children have lost one or both parents, leaving a high percentage of orphans in urgent need of care.
Our Mission
World Family Missions is committed to partnering with the Murle people for a focused six-year period to provide:
- Safe and nurturing home environments for orphaned children.
- Educational opportunities to empower their future.
- Food security and adequate clothing to meet basic needs.

We invite you to prayerfully consider sponsoring one of these precious children with a $50 monthly donation. Your generosity will help break the cycle of hardship, bringing hope and empowering these children to become the Christ-centered future leaders of their community.
