Michael and Tiffany Jeter

Location: Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, West Africa

Ministry: Michael and Tiffany Jeter are ministring to the Burkanibe people in a number of ways. Tiffany, a nurse by profession, is working to establish a mobile clinic that will go out into the tribal villages surrounding Ouagadougou to offer basic medical care for those who have no access to healthcare of any kind. Through establishing relationships and offering healthcare, Tiffany, Michael and the CWO staff in Burkina plan to bring the gospel to villages and people who may have never heard the Good News. Michael is helping to run a vocational school for women in Ouagadougou. This school offers women an opportunity to recieve an education as well as learn about Jesus Christ and His Salvation. Michael also assists in the financial and reporting aspects of the mobile clinic, as well as other odd end jobs. As new doors open and opportunities arise, Tiffany and Michael hope to continue to expand their involvement in the lives of those in Burkina Faso, West Africa.

Michael and Tiffany both graduated from Azusa Pacific University in 2006, and got married later that summer after moving back to Colorado. Michael and Tiffany felt called to the mission field soon after they established themselves in Castle Rock, CO, and have since been pursuing that calling. After selling their house and putting some of their possessions in storage, they were off to West Africa where they are currently serving the people of Burkina Faso.

They also run a year-round missionary training school where American students are given the opportunity to learn about God's call on their lives while participating in missionary activity in Mexico.
