Boise State University

In 2022 the Burdettes were excited to move to Boise, ID to continue the work of RUF at Boise State University. They are no strangers to the Pacific Northwest or to RUF, though. Prior to the move, Drew served as the RUF campus minister at both Oregon State University (2020-2022) and at the University of Washington (2012-2020).

In 2008, Drew and Jessica met at the L’Abri outside of Boston, MA. It was here that they fell in love with one another and developed a heart for ministering to those outside of the church. They married shortly after and moved to Saint Louis to attend Covenant Theological Seminary, where Drew received a Master of Divinity and Jessica a Master of Arts in Counseling.

After graduating, they immediately moved to Seattle, WA and jumped into full time ministry with RUF. While in Seattle, the Lord graciously blessed them with two boys, Asa (b.2014) and Beau (b.2016). The Burdettes’ love to spend time together outdoors. Asa is a budding wildlife photographer and Beau is one of Boise’s newest fly fisherman. Jessica sends her days educating our boys at home and exploring all that Boise has to offer. She loves to read, cook amazing meals, and spend time making new friends. Drew has a million hobbies that he dabbles with and never masters… leather work, ukulele, cycling, and fly fishing are some of his latest. Oh, and they have a ridiculous bernadoodle named Stella.

Thanks so much for your interest in the Burdettes and RUF at Boise State. If you’re a student, we’d love to have you join our group. Potential donor? Let’s get coffee soon! Whoever you are, don’t hesitate to reach out.
