Jesus welcomed home his beloved, faithful servant, Daniel Burritt on July 1, 2020.
Dan was best known for his fervent desire to share the Good News of God’s sacrifice of His only begotten Son for our sins with everyone. Dan was born on October 16, 1955. 37 years later he was born again of God’s Spirit when, on May 9, 1993, he placed his faith in Jesus Christ and what He did for him on the cross and received Jesus as his Lord and Savior. He was forever changed. Many of you knew Dan before and after conversion and witnessed that change. For the next 27 years of his life in Christ Jesus he grew in grace and the knowledge of Him. In November 2009 God called him to be an evangelist/missionary and sent him around the world. Dan obediently left the comforts of America to bring the comforts of God to others in 28 countries on 5 Continents. All those who believe and receive the gospel that he shared with them will see him in heaven one day.
”Only one life, it will soon be past, only what’s done for Jesus Christ shall last.” Nothing else that Dan did here on earth carries any significance in Heaven, so we will not mention it.
Dan and his ministry, “It Is Finished” is already missed by many around the world.
He is survived by his loving wife Dorene, his daughters Erica Hunt (Jordan) and Sandra Constance (Matthew), his grandchildren Ashlynn Lucille, Aliya Nicole, Kayla Lilianna, Alyssa Grace, Liam Daniel and David Carson. He is also survived by his brothers; Mark and Davis Burritt and sisters, Terri Lord and Diane DePue.
There will be a memorial service held at 2pm Sunday, July 12, 2020 at Richville Christian Fellowship (41 School St.) The service will also be live streamed on the church’s Facebook page.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be given to fulfill Dan’s desire to put his recently published book, “How to Live for GOD, in plain language,” which has been translated into Spanish, into the hands of Latin American pastors free of charge. www.itisfinished.co/donate-now/
