“WAITING…”

“My name is Andrew and, in short, I grew up in the church learning about church but not having a relationship with Christ. It wasn’t until 2011 where I read dedicated my life and fully experience the love of God. I join a church staff in 2016 to become a youth director and have been coached and mentored by my older spiritual brother, Andrew Carroll. Also, I got married to my beautiful wife in 2017 and have been blessed to grow together with her in our walk with the Lord. Lastly, I was coached by Andrew Carroll specifically for receiving my pastoral license in 2018 becoming a youth pastor and serving on the same church staff. Since then, I have grown tremendously in ministry and in my walk with the Lord.

Before, I was challenge in staying stuck in my old ways of thinking and not really understanding what God called His church to be and do.

Currently I have stepped out in faith and have been walking out the idea that God isn’t after a program or a service but after using me in my everyday life.

Depressed and sad because I knew things would have to die inside of me and that is never fun. Lol.

I believe that I have been set free in a different way. The difference is I’m not chained to an American mindset on what the local church should look like but instead recognized the biblical role of the local church. Jesus has loved me through this process and now I feel I have seen a difference level of love in my new workplace and family because of Jesus holding my hand through this. Truly, Jesus has given me a fresh doze of love!.” - Andrew Paz
