Meet The Salo Family

As the Christmas season approaches, we want to take a moment to introduce our family and share a story that has been deeply meaningful to us over the past decade. We are the Salo family — I'm Ben, and I’ve had the privilege of being married to my incredible wife, Mariya, for nearly 19 years. Together, we’ve been blessed with five amazing children: Ella (17), Lucy (15), Elijah (13), Ruby (11), and Silas (9). For over 16 years, we have been members of Coram Deo Church, where I’ve had the honor of serving as a deacon of finance for over 10 years. But it is through our connection with Pastor Gabriel and Christ International Ministry (CIM) that our passion for adoption, orphan care, and the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has truly taken root.
