David and Tricia Burnett
Bellevue, Washington
Supporting IJM since 2000
David & Tricia met on a blind-date as students at Seattle Pacific University. After 31 years of marriage, four children, and one grandbaby (so far), it is safe to say the date went well. We have been looking for ways to support IJM ever since David met Gary Haugen at a breakfast for the Christian Legal Society in 1999. We have attended numerous Global Prayer Gatherings, visited field offices in Chenai, Kolkata, Guatemala, and Ghana, hosted local prayer and fund-raising events, attended the Advocacy Summit, and led IJM’s Seattle volunteer team.
After many years as a lawyer and investment professional, David recently went back to school to study theology (Fuller Seminary) and now spends his time managing family investment partnerships, serving on corporate boards, and volunteering at our church and childrens’ school. He is an excellent skier, a decent fisherman, and a terrible golfer. Tricia is active in our church’s women’s ministry, serves on the prayer team, and leads small groups. She enjoys spending quality time with close friends and family, drinking copious amounts of coffee, and escaping WA regularly to find sunshine.
