John & Betty first served as missionaries in 1988 in the bush, living in rustic conditions, with no electricity, no telephone, a well for water, and 3 hours on poor roads to the closest city, where they would go every month or so to shop for supplies. They first served as church planters and evangelists and are now serving with Engage Burkina in full time short term team ministries.

The teams that come provide deep drilled wells, hangars, sometimes visit a local orphanage, and work with the disabled community in the city. They serve as Site Leaders with our Engage Burkina missionary team.
