Brian’s Story:
I was born in Venezuela but grew up in the United States. Growing up I attended First Assembly of God in Rockwall, TX where I was saved and called into the ministry. I began ministering in this church in Children’s ministry and bus ministry. I then attended Southwestern Assemblies of God University and received a degree in church ministries. After college I served as a youth and children’s pastor. I then served in various part-time ministry positions as I sought my Master’s in Counseling. I completed my Master’s in Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor with the State of Texas. After completing my Master’s I have worked on a church planting team while working in counseling related jobs.
Ruthie’s Story:
I grew up on the mission field in Madrid, Spain. My parents, Don and Cyndie Jeter, are missionaries to Spain. I completed a Teaching Degree at Southwestern Assemblies of God University and taught in the public school system. Soon after I served in the Missionary Kid office for the Assemblies of God and then was a personal assistant to speaker Alicia Chole. In 1999 I was a missionary associate in Palencia, Spain helping to start a church there. Upon returning to the U.S., I attended Vanguard University and completed a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and am a Licensed Professional Counselor with the State of Texas. After obtaining my license I have served on a church planting team and as a counselor. In 2006 Brian and I married and we now have three beautiful children, Sara (6), Daniel (4), Anna (1 year).
Missionary Service and Future Plans:
We have served in Spain for over 4 years. First in Barcelona with the International Church and most recently in Seville with a local Spanish Assembly of God church. During this time we have discipled young couples and adults, reached out to English speakers through an English service and Bible study, and taught Pastoral Psychology in the A/G Bible School. In addition, we have served other local churches through preaching and evangelism.
Our vision is to return to Spain and plant a bi-lingual church. Currently there is a desire among many Spaniards to learn English. We believe this is an opportunity to both serve and reach Spaniards.
