Church Planter, Milwaukee

Andy was born in England, and followed in the footsteps of his parents, who became missionaries with New Tribes Mission when he was ten years old. At the age of thirteen, Andy and his family headed overseas to Papua, New Guinea, where they were missionaries for four years.

Andy returned to England when he was seventeen and moved to the States three years later to pursue Bible training through the New Tribes Bible Institute. It was during this time that he met Ralene, now his wife--they both completed their studies together, earning an Associate of Arts in Biblical Studies.

The Lord called them to England, where Andy was a circuit preacher for two and a half years, serving as an itinerant minister to different churches on a weekly basis. During this time Andy and Ralene prayed about their missionary work and were led back to New Tribes Mission, this time to Canada and Missouri, where they completed two years of missions and language training, as well as cultural acquisition skills. They graduated with Bachelor degrees in Intercultural Ministries. Prior to joining the FAC staff, Andy taught classes at the New Tribes Bible Institute and was the Dean of Men. After serving at FAC as an Associate Pastor for the past 3 1/2 years God has called Andy and Rae to plant a church in the inner city of Milwaukee. Please be in prayer for them as they step out in faith.

We desire that the Church will be prayed for continually so listed below are our current prayer request:

1)      Pray that the gathering of information would go quickly and be  

         accurate.

2)      Pray that God would already be preparing hearts to accept the Gospelin

         Milwaukee.

3)      Pray that God would continue to burn His vision onto our hearts.

5)      Pray that God would lead us to the facility for a Church.

6)      Pray that God would be preparing the hearts of the staff for the  

         Church.

7)      Pray that Rae and I would stay close to the heart of God.

                                                                                                                     His life verse is found in Romans 10:13-15: "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved ... How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news."

Andy believes that it is an awesome privilege to be part of God's plan sharing the good news with others.
