JB and Jenise Burris
#0551224
***Special Request***
November 2022 we learned that Jenise has Breast Cancer. Our next season of life will look different and we plan on fighting it with zeal and joy from the Lord. God is faithful and that's what we will believe even during this challenging time.
This has had a huge impact on our life. Today November 2024... God has brought Jenise through an incredible journey and she is cancer free. She has 1 more surgery in January 2025 to endure, but she is learning how to live life differently and with a different rhythm now.
While this has gone on, out kids have grown and thrived. We are in constant prayer for them and what God has in their future. Unfortunately we have not been able to fully prepare for the cost of this season of their lives. So please join us in prayer for wisdom and consider giving as we navigate the rest of highschool and the transition to college financially.
Lastly, thank you for conisdering giving a special gift during this season.
Thanks TeamBurris

3. We have served on the leadership team for Athletes in Actions, Ultimate Training Camp (www.ulitmatetrainingcamp.com). This is a "don't miss" experience for a college athlete and one of the main reasons Jenise and I are on staff. It's where we met each other and where we have experienced and seen hundreds of lives changed.
4. We have been on staff for 20 years now, so we want to help those younger, behind and around us. Currently JB is working with the Stewarship Team. We work with our staff to thrive at every age and stage with the resources they manage. Jenise is a staff care specialist, working with staff in a variety of challenges helps people process in a healthy way.
5.Lastly as a musician, JB directs Run51 (http://www.wearerun51.com/). We travel all over the country sharing Gods message of love, true freedom and redemption in Christ.
WHAT ARE OUR NEEDS:
- That our hearts would be overwhelmed by Gods presence love in a way that people around us would want to know and experience the priceless joy of having a relationship with God.
-We have to raise 100% of our financial need to do the mission and work effectively.
-Our Annual Budget to raise $100k. $65k is already raised.
-Our 2006 manual Mazda is on it's last leg. We hope to have a newer car before this one dies any day.
-Helping develop our college fund for Zoe and Eli. As missionaries raising support for the last 21 years, we have not been able to save more than $20k for our kids to attend college. Our goal is for them to experience college or next steps without incurring debt.
