Andrew grew up in a Christian home, and always new about God, but didn't know God as his personnel Savior until a Old Time Tent Revival Meeting in 1990 that his family was invited to. Andrew gave his life to Christ at that tent revival meeting and from that day forward seeked God's calling on his life. It wasn't until 1998 when God had called Andrew into Ministry at a youth convention in Syracuse, NY in the middle of an altar call, and Andrew knew that God would use him in Ministry. For years Andrew believed that God had called him to preach. It wasn't until many years later that God would reveal His calling on Andrew.
Andrew faced many hardships over the next few years. In 2002 Andrew started gaining massive amounts of weight for and his legs started to swell and stay swollen. He started to fall asleep all the time, and couldn't stay awake. In Feb. 2002 Andrew was diagnosed with Stage 3 Irreversiable Lymphadema, and Severe Sleep Apnea, and Chronic Respitory Problems. Andrew was in the battle of his life which would take the next 2 years to fight. Andrew cried out for help from God. Andrew thought life was so difficult and he wasn't getting any help or relief, so Andrew tried to take his own life several times without success. God was ready to reveal Himself to Andrew. Andrew called on God one more time, and God showed up. Andrew was connected to many wonderful doctors who knew about these problems, and through intense theropy everyday for 8 months Andrew was finally getting the help he needed.
Andrew had to have 75 compression wraps on each of his legs because they where swollen to 72 Centimeters in circumfrance. Andrew also had to receive a CPAP Machine to control his Sleep Apnea. With all the help God had placed in his life, Andrew was on the road to recovery. When Andrew was released from theropy his doctor told him that if he didn't loose the weight Andrew would never live to see his 30th birthday. Andrew took that to heart and lost 149 pound in 10 months, and he is now looking at celebrating his 32nd birthday April 9,2010
Just when Andrew thought he was in the clear in 2005 Andrew began to loose his sight, and while sitting in his office one night his dear friend Jerry said you better get that checked out you might be going blind, so Andrew went to see an eye doctor who told him he might have a brain tumor. So he had to see a doctor in Sycracuse, NY and had to have an emergancy MRI, and while in the MRI Andrew asked God for a sign that he was going to be ok. They asked Andrew what music channel he wanted to listen to and he told them, and a lady came the radio and said, "Your loved ones are with you, and they are standing by you in this trial in your life, and God is with you and your going to be alright." Andrew broke down and tears of joy flowed down his face, and at that moment Andrew knew he was going to be alright. The results came back that he had no brain tumor, and after a spinal tap they found that he had to much spinal fluid going to the brain causing the pressure on his octive nerve's in his eyes, and after medication for a year, and was healed by God of Bi-Lateral Papladema.
During these trial and tribulations God had finally reveled to Andrew the Ministry He had prepared Andrew for. Andrew was watching Ernie Haasse and Signature Sound on TBN one night when God told Andrew this is what I am calling you to do. Andrew was called and prepared by God to spread the Gospel Of Jesus Christ Through his music and testimony.
