Dr. Tom & Diane Schiefer

Who We Are

Tom and Diane Schiefer began ministering with CVM in 1998 with a mission trip to the countries of Armenia and Georgia, followed up the next year with a trip to Kosovo. In 2000, Tom retired from USDA and he and Diane went on a short-term trip to Mongolia. They then spent 8 years part-time in Bolivia before working with the Tarahumara people for several years in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico. They made their home in Arizona and from 2012 have faithfully partnered with Global CHE (Community Health Evangelism) Enterprises in Western Guatemala, working with the Quiche and Mam people in 16 communities. In June of 2024 Tom passed away, but Diane continues to partner with and pray for Global CHE through CVM. 

Our Work

Tom and Diane taught CHE in rural Guatemalan communities where they also trained local people to be trainers of CHE. The training in how to diagnose, treat, vaccinate, and improve the health and quality of the animals through nutrition and genetics lives on in the trainers they helped train. Lives continue to be transformed through the health of the animals.
