Across the River - A Ballad from the Jungles of Burma
Across the River is a lyrical spoken ballad drawn from David Burnell’s firsthand experience deep in the jungles of Burma. Partnering with Special Forces veteran John Padgett, David embarked on a mission not to fight, but to lift—to protect the teacher, train indigenous medics, and serve a people caught in one of the longest civil wars in modern history.
From river crossings to muddy hooches, from laughter with a jungle child named No Do Tu to solemn graduation ceremonies held under monsoon skies, this is a tale of human resilience, sacred duty, and humble impact. It is a call to serve wherever you stand. No headlines. No spotlight. Just love in motion.
