Erik and Tammy Burklin

Serving the Church in China

 

Erik is a third-generation missionary, the son of Werner and Inge Burklin, who served with Youth for Christ for over 40 years. His grandparents served with China Inland Mission (CIM) taking the Gospel to China before it closed to foreign missionaries in 1950

In 1989, his father, Dr. Werner Burklin, founded CHINA PARTNER (CP) after realizing that the greatest need in China was for training and equipping emerging Chinese Christian leaders. In 2001, Erik took over as president for CP. He regularly travels to China organizing and teaching at pastoral training seminars, where future Chinese pastors learn about evangelism, evangelistic preaching, pastoral care, Christian leadership and discipleship.

Since 1991, CP has conducted 45 pastoral training seminars in 17 different cities in China and has trained over 3,600 future pastors and Christian leaders. In addition, CP has provided students, faculty, and seminaries/Bible schools with mini libraries--over 34,000 theological study books have been distributed since 1991.

He and his wife, Tammy and two daughters reside in Highlands Ranch, Colorado.

"Do not be anxious for anything, but in everything, with prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make your request known to God, and the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension with guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:6,7

and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." --Matthew 28: 19,20 NIV
