Wendel Burton

Wendell Burton was raised in Texas and Oklahoma, but moved to California during his teenage years. After graduating from high school, he attended Sonoma State and San Francisco State College, where he majored in political science.

It was through a public speaking course at Sonoma State that Wendell was encouraged to try out for the theater department's production of "Oh Dad, Poor Dad," in which he played the male lead. After that success, he auditioned for and got the part of Charlie Brown in the San Francisco production of "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown" at the Little Fox Theater. He was a part of that pro- duction for over a year before he led the cast to accept the leading role opposite Liza Minnelli in the Para- mount Pictures film "The Sterile Cuckoo.

But, after achieving such tremendous success so quickly, Wendell soon discovered that there was more to a happy life than being a star and impressing people. He embarked on a spiritual search for God that culminated in a trip to India that only resulted in confusion and despair. Six months later, he discovered and met the person of Jesus Christ. Since then, Wendell's number one priority has been serving the Lord in whatever direction He leads.
