Harvest Bible Church | Westland, MI

For 17 years, Gracia and her husband Martin served with New Tribes Mission in the Philippines where Martin was a jungle pilot and Gracia served in various roles.

While celebrating their 18th wedding anniversary, the Burnhams were taken captive by a militant group of Muslims. For more than a year, and under the total control of their captors, they were constantly on the move living in primitive conditions in the jungle, evading capture from the Philippine military, enduring gun battles, and witnessing unspeakable atrocities committed by their captors.

Over a year after 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.
