Magee. Andy just retired from the Army and the Lord has opened up a door
for him to begin teaching at Louisiana College in Pineville, LA. There, he
can be a great influence for the Lord. This has been both a leading and an
answer to his prayer. Over a year ago, the Lord began to speak to me about
ending my mission trips to Honduras because of my back. I began to talk
to Andy about picking up that mantle for pastor training there. In January,
I took his pastor, Dr. Glen Whatley, down with us to involve him in the ministry.
I talked to him about taking on the pastor training. He has and he just
completed his second trip there a couple of weeks ago. Right now, they
have worked with the Honduran pastor to plan out quarterly pastor/leader
training on the Grace of God and the Gospel. Andy is the mission director
for his Church and his budget for this year is $52,000. This year, his church
has already sent two teams to Honduras, one team to Alaska, one team to
Turkey, and two to Uganda. To close out this year, he will be involved in sending
out two more teams to each Honduras and Uganda. In January of 2013, there
is good potential to send a team to Cambodia to work with a group whose
focus is on ministering to victims of human sex trafficking and towards the
training of Cambodians for mission work in blocked countries. Andy has a
nonprofit organization called “Grow and Go” that will minister greatly with
Louisiana College students and to those who are not members of the church
that he attends. Its purpose is to train, equip, and empower workers to bring
about peace and holistic healing to people both in our nation and nations
abroad. This will be accomplished through both supporting permanent
missionaries and by sending our people out on short term mission trips.
