SANFORD, Florida (June 10, 2002): In an interview given just before she boarded a plane to return to the US, Gracia Burnham gave the following message for those who have been praying for Martin and her: "We want to thank each and every one of you for every time you remembered us in prayer. We needed every single prayer you said for us during our ordeal in the jungle." She also thanked the military men who risked their lives to rescue her and Martin.

One of those who was with Gracia the day after her rescue said this about her. "Gracia is a strong woman of deep faith." Her clarity of mind as she testified of how God carried her and Martin through this long ordeal amazed all who heard her.

Gracia will be reunited with her children in Kansas City today (Monday) at 3:10 p.m. Central time. Please be praying for all of the family members.

A memorial service for Martin will be held at Central Christian Church in Wichita, Kansas, at 10:00 a.m. on Friday.

A Martin Burnham Memorial Fund has been established for the benefit of Gracia and their three children. If you wish to contribute, make checks payable to New Tribes Mission with the designation "Martin Burnham Memorial Fund." Send to NTM, 1000 E. First Street, Sanford, FL 32771-1487. Any cards or letters for Gracia should be sent to Gracia Burnham c/o NTM at the same address.

Gracia has an incredible story to tell to all those that have so faithfully prayer for her and Martin. We have heard that God prepared the hearts of Martin and Gracia for whatever the result might be. God truly has been at work in a mighty way.

Any idea about when Martin's funeral will be and where?

The Memorial service is set for this Friday at 10:00 in Wichita, but I haven't heard when his body will be released after the .

I'm sorry - my screening dealy is cutting out words - the last word in my last posting is the "study of the body".

Prayer continues.

I was at the gym and saw Gracia giving a statement. Don't know if that was today or yesterday's interview. She looked lovely..and at peace. That peace that passes all understanding. :o) May God bless Gracia and family richly.
