Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:

Gracia Burnham graduated from Calvary Bible College in Kansas City, Missouri, with a BS in Christian education. She and her husband left the states for a mission aviation assignment with New Tribes Mission in Northern Luzon, Philippines, working there until 2001. Her responsibilities included flight following, radio net control, homeschooling her children, and assisting her husband in his responsibilities as pilot, mechanic, and field leader. She is author of the book In the Presence of My Enemies, the story of the year she and her husband spent as hostages of the Abu Sayyaf in the jungles of the Philippines. Since the rescue attempt by the Philippine military that resulted in her husbands death and her release, she has become a sought-after speaker and launched the Martin & Gracia Burnham Foundation, which supports mission aviation and tribal mission work around the world, seeks ways to show Christs love to the Muslim community, and offers assistance to Christians around the world who are suffering for their faith. The foundation is funded by money raised from speaking fees, sales of books, and donations. She and her youngest son reside in Rose Hill, Kansas.
