Meet Barry, Shelly and Libbie Wilson

We are Barry and Shelly Wilson from Amarillo, Texas.  We are proud parents to Libbie (12), Ally (8), and Grady (6).  

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.  Earlier this year, 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 to this mission trip.  What a great opportunity to spread the love of Jesus with those whom God has placed on our hearts to care for.  We are extremely excited that Libbie will be traveling on the trip as well.  Our desire as a family is to serve, and we are humbled by the love that Libbie has for those less fortunate, and the passion she has for spreading the Gospel.  Ethiopia, here we come!
