Called to Serve

Gracia and Martin Burnham were missionaries in the Philippines when they were taken hostage by a Muslim extremist group. After a year of being held captive, Martin was killed and Gracia was wounded during a rescue attempt. In the 15 years since, Gracia has traveled the world speaking about her ordeal, the spiritual lessons she learned during her captivity, and how God has blessed her and her family since Martin’s death.. She has authored two books, In The Presence Of My Enemies, and To Fly Again.
