Levi Benkert was playing with his children in the park when he received an urgent phone call from a friend asking him to drop everything and fly to Ethiopia to help organize an orphanage for children destined to be murdered as part of a tribal superstition known as "mingi killings." Moved by his friend's story, Levi packed his bags and left for what he thought would be a two-week trip. But upon meeting the children, Levi knew there was no turning back. Six weeks later, Levi, his wife, Jessie, and their three young children sold their home and all their belongings and relocated to Ethiopia indefinitely.
No Greater Love documents Levi's journey-from the challenges he faced establishing and running the orphanage and finding adoptive homes for the children.

"If you've ever heard an inspirational story about someone who goes overseas to work in an orphanage and it simply warms your heart, this book is not that book. No, this book shows you the nitty-gritty of what it means to physically go and make a difference in the world of someone you don't even know."The Hungry Freelancer
"this book has touched my heart so much and I couldn't put it down I read this amazing story in 2 days."Growing Roots
This is a book that will tug at your adoption heartstrings. Not only was this an orphanage they were creating, but they were saving these children from death as part of tribal religious ceremonies. Steps Book Reviews
