Evangelist Eric Goetsch

United States Marine and Evangelist

To escape the world around him, he joined the Marine Corps in 1969. After his training, he received orders to serve in southeast Asia. In March of 1971, he was apprehended by the hand of God along an abandoned grassy trail in Quang Nam Province, Vietnam. In that moment, engulfed in smoke, fire and holy vengeance, a land mine explosion severed two lower limbs, and placed in a wheelchair for life a young man who was to carry, without legs, a message from God to a nation.

After his call to preach in 1973, and following a year of itinerant evangelistic preaching, Tim Lee pastored for five years in southern Illinois before surrendering to the full-time ministry of evangelism in 1979. The results in the lives of people was almost immediate as the former Marine began to stir and challenge God’s people across the country. People of all ages listened; among them teenagers, the professional person, United States Congressmen and Senators, Governors, Mayors and elected officials. They heard a clear, uncompromising message grounded deep in old fashioned patriotism, righteous living and biblical revival.

ADRIAN Originally from Morehead City, NC, Adrian Burden was saved in a junior service at Grace Baptist Church and completed his education in their Christian school. At the age of 16, while at The Wilds Christian Camp, God called him to preach. He followed God’s call to Pensacola Christian College, from which he graduated with an undergraduate degree in ’06 and a Master’s in Biblical Exposition and in ‘08.

Along the way, Adrian counseled at the Bill Rice Ranch and traveled with a ministry called Truth Alive, both ofwhich provided invaluable experience with youth and teen ministry. He also spent three years assisting a church planting ministry in Mobile, AL, under Pastor Chester Keith. Thanks to this practical experience, he can now run a VBS, a teen rally, or a Sunday service with equal proficiency.

Upon graduation, Adrian set out with just $36 in his bank account and a booking for one solitary meeting in South Dakota. Since then, God has provided. Rather than cold-calling churches to introduce themselves, the family prays that their ministry will prompt pastors to refer them to other places where their gifts may be used.

Domestic and international camp work, vacation Bible schools, youth campaigns and conferences, revival services, back-to-school revivals, hosting mission trips, overseas youth ministry—God has opened all these avenues and more for Burden Ministries to invest in this generation. For the majority of their meetings, they travel as a family, just thrilled to serve the Lord together!

Evangelism is needed everywhere; and in 2015, God placed it on the family’s hearts to learn Spanish. Adrian, Tabitha, and the girls have been blessed to impact the Spanish speaking community, both at home and overseas!

Evangelist Benjamin Burks

Evangelist Burks is a Bible school graduate and has worked as an Assistant Pastor, Senior Pastor, and Staff Evangelist. He has been in ministry since 1984, and has watched through the years as family, friends, and acquaintances have had their lives wrecked because of the many addictions that Satan uses to destroy lives. He has seen the destruction up close and from afar, and grew tired of watching lives and families destroyed. God has given to him a burden and a tool to help people who are held captive by their addictions and stubborn habits. “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)
