CHRIS AND HEATHER BURTON

Chris & Heather Burton have been involved with TNT University for many years.  Chris has been a clown all of his life, but has just explored it professionally in the last few years. He focuses most of his attention and training on Christian clown ministry, although he performs for birthday parties, school shows, and spent 4 summers clowning for a professional baseball team. His clown name “PJ” actually derives from a bad experience. In 1998, Chris lost his mother unexpectedly, it was then that “PJ” ,which stands for “Praise Jesus” ,was born, because he knows that’s what his mother is doing. During his clowning through ministry God has taken him to many places, including Jamaica and Canada. He lives by the motto, “Let Go, and Let God”.  Heather has been clowning since 1999 after she met her best friend, now her husband. She saw what greasepaint and the love of laughter could do. She knew then she was called to clowning when the Lord closed the doors of the puppet world and open doors to the world of clowning. She clowned around for a year as "Coco" the clown. In 2000, she was blessed with "Penelope" and has been clowning ever since. She and her husband Chris clown together at church services, corporate events, children’s church, and anything The Lord calls them to do. They are the new proud parents of little Hannah Grace, who joined big brother Micah in July, 2013.
