There are 13 million children in Africa alone who have been orphaned just because of HIV/AIDS. As representatives for the humanitarian organization World Vision, Andy & Pam Allen offer people the opportunity to sponsor children and provide food, clothing, health care, clean water, medication, shelter, education, hope for tomorrow, and hope for eternity.
“They have become part of our heart. We looked into their eyes and promised them that we would come home and tell their story to as many people as we could in order to help them.”
BIO
If you ask, and maybe even if you don’t, Andy Allen will tell you that it’s tough to quantify spiritual things. After 9 years of full-time touring music ministry, 3 recording projects, hundreds of concerts & services in front of more than 300,000 people – he’s not impressed by stats…but only when God leaves His imprint and mark on the hearts of people.
A college degree in Business sometimes prompts Andy to look for numbers or results that can be charted on a scorecard or spreadsheet…but he’s found that you can’t use statistics & accounting to track or define the heart of a living God.
“As a Christian musician I might be able to track how many CDs sell – how many gigs I have in front of ‘X’ number of people, in ‘X’ number of states, while driving or flying ‘X’ number of miles. But those numbers cannot tell or show how hearts are encouraged & directed to God – how the Holy Spirit moves & changes the heart of a man or woman – how a life might be challenged or transformed while seeking the face of Father God – how hope and faith can be restored – or how a broken person can be set free & healed while chasing the call of Jesus!”
It doesn’t matter to Andy if you call him an “indie artist”, “worship leader”, “singer-songwriter” or “musician” – he simply wants to make sure you know that he is deeply in love with his Jesus. If you take the time, you’ll see in him the maturity found in one who’s traveled life’s dark roads & been carried down those paths in the arms of Christ. Playing & singing in cities and churches across the US, this seasoned performer and worship leader will touch your soul. A heart of praise and encouragement has been the mark of his ministry.
Andy and his wife Pam live with their 5 kids in northern California. He tours and works with churches - leading worship concerts and sharing music in church services, along with teaching clinics and training worship teams.

My prayer for you today is, "that He would grant you, according to the richness of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ dwell in your heart through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God" Eph. 3:16-19
God our Father, the birth of your Son Jesus Christ brought great joy to Mary and Joseph. We give thanks to you for (Andy) whose birthday we celebrate today. May he ever grow in your faith, hope, and love. We ask this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
From your friend
