Andy and Monica have been serving the Mixteco community since 2001. They fulfill many roles within the community. Andy is the lead pastor of Compañerismo Cristiano Mixteco.
Andy and Monica both come from a Catholic background. They both heard the Gospel in their late teens and realized that there is no sin that the Lord cannot forgive and bring healing to the brokenhearted. As Andy began to grow in the knowledge of His Word, the Lord instilled in his heart a strong desire to use the life skills He had blessed Andy with to serve Him by serving others. Never would Andy have imagined that what began as that desire to serve and get involved in missions would lead to some of the greatest blessings as well as challenges in his life.
