Meet the Team {The Weils Family}

Welcome to our adventure. . .
We are the Weils family; Zechariah (15), Jonathan (7), Bill and Daphne. Zechariah is a 9th grader in High School. Jonathan is a 1st grader. Daphne is a full-time homemaker, and Bill manages a group of people who keep computer stuff running, not matter what.  All four of us are headed to Addis Ababa with the ACT Team.
It’s been amazing to see how the Lord has opened doors of opportunity and provided for us to make this trip. We have a wonderful community of people around us.  They have encouraged, given and surrounded us with prayer during the past 6 months of preparations. We take each one of you with us in our hearts and minds. Thank you!!
We are so excited to be part of this adventure!!  It is an amazing challenge for our family to grow and stretch our faith.  And, it’s the next step in our adoption journey. We are pursuing International Adoption of an Ethiopian child.  Our paperwork is complete and in Ethiopia as of February. We are one year into a three year long wait for our little girl!
This trip gives us a first opportunity to see the country, meet the people, and soak up some of the culture of Ethiopia. We want to learn and share as much as we can. We are eager to serve the orphans and the nannies who care for them. The boys are most excited to play with the children, and to see the country from which their little sister will be born.  Jonathan can’t wait to show the kids how to do “domino tumbling” and make the Creche project.  Zechariah will love on babies, and is our “in-resident” photographer.  He also will be “part pack mule”. J  Bill and I are looking forward to meeting our team members in person; and seeing all the LORD has planned for this trip.

It’s a humbling and amazing journey. . .
