We are Barry and Shelly Wilson from Amarillo, Texas. We are proud parents to three wonderful children.
Our love for Ethiopia began in the summer of 2012 when, by God's leading, our family started the process of adopting from the country. As we began to educate ourselves on the country of Ethiopia in general, and the orphan crisis specifically, we fell more in love with Ethiopia and grew more heartbroken for the children there. As the wait times for adoption started to lengthen, we prayerfully asked God what we could do, or how we could be involved, during this adoption wait time. As an answer to prayer, He led us on a mission trip. In August of 2014, we made our first trip to Ethiopia and it changed our lives. We knew as soon as we made it home that we would have to return.
We never could have imagined the road God had planned for us when we started this journey. We continue to pray for open eyes and obedient hearts as we go where He leads us. So, here we go again……
