\"\"<\/a>Donald Dean Burchett, 87, passed away Saturday, May 16, 2020, at Neodesha Care and Rehabilitation in Neodesha, Kansas. Don was born on February 27, 1933, to Jody and Viola Burchett in Copan, Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

On May 29, 1954, Don married Bonnie Ray Charter. Bonnie passed away on December 21, 2000. He married Donna Horst in February 2003. She also preceded him in death in 2005. Then, on August 8, 2006, he was united in marriage to Joy Stewart Kerley.<\/p>\n

During his 44 years of pastoral ministry, Donald led only one congregation: Chapel of Praise\/Cathedral of Praise in the Kansas (now Harvest) Conference of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church (IPHC). He served as Bishop of the Harvest Conference (now the Harvest District of Acts2Day) for 16 years. By virtue of that position, he served as a member of the IPHC General Board of Administration and on the Southwestern College Board of Regents.<\/p>\n

Donald\u2019s heart\u2019s desire was to see the churches in the Independence, Kansas, area worship together. That is why he held Winter Word Camp Meetings in Independence for eight years.<\/p>\n

As a pastime, Donald enjoyed fishing, which he jokingly called \u201cvisitation.\u201d (Visitation was the name of a fishing boat owned by his close friend, Jack Weaver.) He delighted in playing jokes on people, and he loved to play fastpitch softball. He played his last game when he was 64 years old. He also loved golfing and just being with people.<\/p>\n

Donald\u2019s love for young people is reflected in the fact that he and Bonnie fostered 10 children.<\/p>\n

Donald was predeceased by his parents, his wives Bonnie and Donna, and his brother, J. Dwight Burchett. He is survived by his three children: Terry (Kenni), Belinda Cotton, and Randy (Cindy); eight grandchildren: David Chism, Shawna Adams (Jesse), Steven Burchett (Tina), Benji Chism (Whitney), Jennifer Tucker (Gary), Cassie Graham, Joshua Burchett (Kelley), Yalanda Moore (Craig); four foster children: Harlis Harriman, Tony Tuner, Tracy Chamblee, and Donnie Baker. He is also survived by 27 great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren, his brother Bobby (Jeanie) Burchett, and sister-in-law, Mary Burchett.<\/p>\n

A \u201cfamily-only\u201d funeral was held on Friday, May 22nd, in Independence, Kansas. Because of restrictions imposed during the Coronavirus pandemic, a public memorial service for Donald Dean Burchett has been postponed until August 22. The location is yet to be determined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":4642,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","filesize_raw":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4640","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-general","8":"entry"},"title_es":"Recordando al pastor y obispo Don Burchett","content_es":"\"\"<\/a> Donald Dean Burchett, de 87 a\u00f1os, falleci\u00f3 el s\u00e1bado 16 de mayo de 2020 en Neodesha Care and Rehabilitation en Neodesha, Kansas. Don naci\u00f3 el 27 de febrero de 1933, hijo de Jody y Viola Burchett en Cop\u00e1n, Oklahoma. El 29 de mayo de 1954, Don se cas\u00f3 con Bonnie Ray Charter. Bonnie falleci\u00f3 el 21 de diciembre de 2000. Se cas\u00f3 con Donna Horst en febrero de 2003. Tambi\u00e9n lo precedi\u00f3 en la muerte en 2005. Luego, el 8 de agosto de 2006, se uni\u00f3 en matrimonio con Joy Stewart Kerley. Durante sus 44 a\u00f1os de ministerio pastoral, Donald dirigi\u00f3 solo una congregaci\u00f3n: Capilla de Alabanza \/ Catedral de Alabanza en la Conferencia de Kansas (ahora Harvest) de la Iglesia Internacional de Santidad Pentecostal (IPHC).

Es por eso que llev\u00f3 a cabo reuniones de Winter Word Camp en Independence durante ocho a\u00f1os. Como pasatiempo, a Donald le gustaba pescar, lo que en broma llamaba \"visitaci\u00f3n\". (Visitation era el nombre de un bote de pesca propiedad de su amigo cercano, Jack Weaver.) Se deleitaba jugando bromas a las personas, y le encantaba jugar softball de lanzamiento r\u00e1pido. Jug\u00f3 su \u00faltimo juego cuando ten\u00eda 64 a\u00f1os. Tambi\u00e9n le encantaba jugar golf y estar con gente. El amor de Donald por los j\u00f3venes se refleja en el hecho de que \u00e9l y Bonnie criaron a 10 ni\u00f1os. Donald fue fallecido por sus padres, sus esposas Bonnie y Donna, y su hermano, J. Dwight Burchett. Le sobreviven sus tres hijos: Terry (Kenni), Belinda Cotton y Randy (Cindy); ocho nietos: David Chism, Shawna Adams (Jesse), Steven Burchett (Tina), Benji Chism (Whitney), Jennifer Tucker (Gary), Cassie Graham, Joshua Burchett (Kelley), Yalanda Moore (Craig); cuatro hijos adoptivos: Harlis Harriman, Tony Tuner, Tracy Chamblee y Donnie Baker. Tambi\u00e9n le sobreviven 27 bisnietos y seis tataranietos, su hermano Bobby (Jeanie) Burchett y su cu\u00f1ada Mary Burchett. El viernes 22 de mayo se celebr\u00f3 un funeral \"solo para familias\" en Independence, Kansas. Debido a las restricciones impuestas durante la pandemia de Coronavirus, un servicio conmemorativo p\u00fablico para Donald Dean Burchett se pospuso hasta el 22 de agosto. La ubicaci\u00f3n a\u00fan no se ha determinado.","author_name":"Shirley Spencer","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/05\/Donal-Dean.png","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Bx-1cQ","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4640"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4640\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
