For years, Amber and Jared Russell wanted to start something bigger than themselves.  They wanted to bring a hope to a world that had none.

           

            Based out of a little southern Illinois town of Norris City, Bringing Home was formed in late 2012.The music from Bringing Home speaks of God's forgiveness and his willingness to uplift you above all of your struggles.  " This world is in desperate need of a Savior  and a hope; that's what Bringing Home is all about", says lead singer, Jared Russell.

 

           The purpose of the name, Bringing Home, is derived from Peter's words in I Peter,  calling us strangers or aliens to this land.  "Our eternal home is waiting for us and we are just passing though this world", says Amber.  Heaven is a place where we will never know pain again, the loss of a loved one, or the hurt of a broken heart.  It is a place that will forever contain hope and peace.  These are qualities that, unfortunately, our world lacks.  There is chaos on every corner and we weren't meant to live like this.  "We are here to bring hope through Christ to those who have none",  Amber goes on to say, "We are bringing the hope from our eternal home here to this world."

           

           The powerful melodies and encouraging lyrics are what is at the heart of Bringing Home, but Jared also says, "the one thing we have to keep in our minds is that only through God can we reach those we intend to reach.  God can take what we have written and make it go so much further than we could ever take it.  It is only through Him that we are able to do this."
