3064 Bruce & Doris Burke – Part 2

Missionaries to South Africa

Daughter, Gann, chooses to go to South Africa with her parents and they arrive by Greek freighter. Their co-workers, however, are liberal and the Burkes leave the mission after 9 months to serve on their own, forming Open Bible Ministries. The government doesn’t renew their visa, so they go home but continue to raise support, starting new churches and schools. When they return to S. Africa they face corruption, losing two schools; also rebellion from students. They flee Lesotho and start a school in Fouriesburg. Their story concludes as a former Bible school convert calls, still serving the Lord.
