Originally from Cincinnati, we were involved in local church ministry for several years before moving to Louisville in 2018 to join the home office. Peter is 10, Amos is 6, and Brandon and Maleah are…much older than that.
Things have changed quite a bit since 2018! In August 2024 we moved to Granada, Spain, along with our friends/teammates JC and Carla Williams, to form what we call a “Fielded Support Team.” In addition to working some alongside the field team here in Granada, we are more strategically placed to partner better with our workers (over half of whom live within 3 time zones of Spain!), tell God’s story, and be a bridge between the Home Office in Louisville and our fellow field workers around the world. On this side of the ocean we’re better positioned to take more focused (and frequent) trips to different fields and teams. We’re also now better equipped to relate to our workers in terms of what it means to live overseas, and provide a place for people to visit that doesn’t necessitate crossing an ocean. We’re still so excited to be doing what we’re doing, where we’re doing it, and we’d love to answer any questions you might have.
Brandon
I am the Media Production Specialist on this Fielded Support Team branch of the Communications Team. I’m essentially in charge of all things audio, video, and photography. I plan, shoot, and edit videos for the organization as a whole, but also collaborate with our field workers on projects for telling stories, reporting to churches, and helping further their media ministries.
Maleah
I am the Third Culture Kid* (TCK) Care Coordinator. I work with our TCKs to ensure they are cared for, healthy, and heard. My TCK Associates Jacquie, Christy, and I work together with Member Care to make sure families are thriving (not just surviving!) in their time overseas.
*What’s a TCK? Glad you asked! It’s someone who spends part of their growing-up years in one or more cultures outside of their parents’ cultures – a blend of places, perspectives, and experiences – navigating a different concept of home. This isn’t limited to “missionary kids,” but they are definitely TCKs!
Just like “regular” field missionaries, we rely on the support of fellow believers to continue our ministries. Financial, yes, but also prayer. Without that, we wouldn’t be here! If you’d like to do anything all the cool kids do (donate, subscribe to our newsletter, etc.) check out the right-hand column for the appropriate link. If you have any questions at all, email one of us at bweiss@teamexpansion.org or mweiss@teamexpansion.org. I’ll let you figure out whose is whose.
