Gracia Burnham is the widow of Martin Burnham and mother of Jeff, Mindy, and Zach. For 17 years, Gracia and Martin served with New Tribes Mission in the Philippines where Martin was a jungle pilot delivering mail, supplies, and encouragement to other missionaries, and transporting sick and injured patients to medical facilities.
On May 27, 2001, while celebrating their 18th wedding anniversary at Dos Palmas Resort off Palawan Island, the Burnhams were taken captive by a militant group of Muslims called the Abu Sayyaf Group. On the afternoon of June 7, 2002, over a year since their abduction, the Philippine military attempted another rescue. Tragically, Martin was killed during the gunfight. Wounded, but alive, Gracia was rescued and returned home under a national spotlight.
Since that time, Gracia has authored two books, In The Presence Of My Enemies, and To Fly Again. Gracia resides in Rose Hill, Kansas.
Gracia will speak about her experiences in the Philippines. There will be time for prayer for the persecuted church and a kick-off for 30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World during Ramadan.
