TeamBurris April 5th Update

So last time I blogged, I was very anxious and not sure what was next for us, but as I shared last month we needed to be out of our home by April 1st. One night when sharing this with the family, I made it clear to them that we would have peace and trust God. Zoe quickly said, "Daddy I want a house with an upstairs and a chimney".

Long story short, (it's a really good long story though) it was a unique set of circumstances we faced because we go to Colorado from May to August for work. So today, I was looking back on the week, it has been a whirlwind and I reminded Zoe that God for the time, answered her exact prayers. God is real, he's faithful and he provided.

We are so thankful for friends and generous supporters who are allowing us to stay in their home until our Colorado trip. Thanks for praying for us.

Here is an article about a Miami runner who found peace and purpose in her faith and Jenise was one person who came along side of her.

March 2013 Ministry Update

A few weeks ago I took this picture as I prepared for the worship set I was leading at the YMCA retreat center in Estes Park, Colorado. The UTCBAND was there to encourage 130+ athletes from the area, that we as believers experience a bless life when we make life not about us but about God. ( John3:30)

These mountains say just that, I looked at them in awe of who God is as a creator, and how great they were in size, height and all the other things I could not wrap my head around compared to how small I am. My only response that morning and the last few weeks has been, God help me to know what you've given me and help me to use it for your glory. 

It's an every day battle but I'm grateful God has positioned me to work on a campus to help college athletes know and walk with God. He has allowed me to step into an NBA arena to lead a short chapel so the guys can know and follow Jesus. God has given me rhythm, enough to play drums and lead and encourage others to worship God through song and dance. He's given me a wife and two kids to love and lead to know and follow Jesus.

But I am not perfect, and I need much prayer and boldness to help others I know follow Jesus. Would you pray for TeamBurris to max out our potential and do well with what God has given us?

 Almost 2 years ago God blessed us with friends who supported us by renting out their home to us. The time has come for them to sell it so as of April 1 we will need a new place. Prayers are welcomed.

Would pray for us as our ministry will reach all over the nation through our travel, camps, music and retreats this year. We will also travel to attend seminary classes, a Cru Conf, a wedding and time to rest with family.

 We are so thankful for your prayers and generosity! We could not do our ministry without the sacrifices you make.

Did you see Courageous the movie? Robert Amaya who played Javier, came and shared his personal story with athletes at UM. Robert was a great example of trusting God when things got tough.
