Ni Waango (Welcome!)

The Evangelical Language Center in Burkina Faso

Our 
mission 
is
 to
 provide 
the 
people of 
Burkina 
Faso 
with the opportunity to 
achieve a
 measure 
of
 self‐sufficiency
 while
 preaching
 the 
gospel 
message. We 
work
 to
 accomplish 
this
 mission
 through 
elementary 
education, 
adult
 English biblical
 education 
and 
by 
ensuring
 the 
well
 being 
of
 children 
through
 medical 
and food 
aid,
 thereby 
providing
 them 
the
 opportunity
 to 
live 
healthy 
and 
productive 
lives.

My name is Hunter Willis, and I am a graduate of Hampden-Sydney College. I am a missionary, a member of Commonwealth Chapel in Richmond, VA and have been doing mission work with Pastor Jeremie Nitiema in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

Pastor Jeremie Nitiema came to us through YWAM, Virginia and when I met him, I instantly felt a strong calling to serve him. Since that day in Nov. 2008, together we have provided medicine and education for hundreds of children and dozens of adults in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Our outreach in Burkina Faso serves Muslims, Animists and Christians alike. It is our prayer that through our service to God’s children of all religious and ethno-linguistic backgrounds they will come to know Jesus and his love.

Commonwealth Chapel’s mission is to bring Hope, Healing and Health to the city of Richmond through Prayer, Mission and Worship. In becoming active in missions and working with Commonwealth Chapel, I have met dozens of wonderful people who are doing amazing things right here in Richmond, VA. It has been a blessing and a joy to have the privilege to serve domestically and abroad.
