Burnham, Bob & Andrea

Bob and Andrea Burnham have been ministering in Ukraine since 1995, overseeing MTW's church-planting work in Odessa's southern region, including Odessa, Belgorod-Dnestrovsky, and Izmail.

Bob, a Pensacola, Florida, native, received a business degree in Nashville from Belmont University. Andrea grew up in Littleton, Colorado, and received her architecture degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Having a passion to tell others of the grace God has given us through Jesus Christ, they each joined MTW separately and met when placed on the same team in Izmail, Ukraine. Andrea and Bob served from 1995 to 1997 and grew to love the Ukrainian people—as well as each other.

After marrying in 1998, the Burnhams relocated to Atlanta where Bob worked as MTW’s director for recruitment. In 2001 they returned to Ukraine where Bob led MTW’s church-planting team in Odessa. When Russia attacked Ukraine in February 2022, the Odessa team evacuated to neighboring Romania, where they minister to refugees and regularly deliver humanitarian aid to the churches in Ukraine. The Burnhams have three daughters: Abigail, Emily & Iris.

They covet your prayers for wisdom and the ability to faithfully teach and live in Christ-likeness.
