My Bio
 |
Hi there! My name is Brian Burkhart. I had a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ while I was in Africa in the Spring of 1984, at which time I felt God calling me to enter the ministry. A few weeks later I met a missionary couple from Canada, who told me about a small Bible School in northern Alberta, called Peace River Bible Institute. I felt this was God's leading, so I came to the Peace Country and have been here ever since (before 1984 I had been working as a dental technician in Germany - my "home land"). After graduating from PRBI, I was a pastor at McLaurin Baptist Church in Grande Prairie from 1988-1996, and then at the Webster Community Church since 1996. I have also been an adjunct faculty member at PRBI for the past 20 years.

| While at Bible School, I met a wonderful young lady named Tracy. We were married in 1987, during my 4th year. Since then we've had 5 amazing children, each a tremendous blessing from God. The oldest two have left home now. All of them love the Lord, which is an unspeakable joy to my heart. |

In addition to faith and family, I also love hunting. Moose, bear, elk, deer - you name it, they live within walking distance of our house, and every year some of them end up spending the winter in our freezer. I hunt with both bow and rifle, and enjoy doing my own processing (cutting & wrapping, making sausage, etc). |
