Hi, my name is Andy McGinnis. The best way to describe myself is to tell you one of my favorite jokes of all time. Q: What is green and fuzzy and if it fell out of a tree, it would hurt you? A: A pool table! Yes, a corny joke from a corny guy. That is just the way God made me. I love life and want to enjoy everything that God has given me. And if I can share that joy with someone else and make them smile then all the better. I was born, adopted, and raised here in Wooster, Ohio. Even though I have spend most of my life here in Wayne County, I have had the privilege to travel all over the world visiting 5 of the 7 continents so far and working side by side God’s people as we share the good news of the Gospel.
Besides traveling, I enjoy camping and hiking, drawing, music that I dance badly to, and Reese’s Pieces. I am a Cleveland Indians fanatic, a fan of James Bond, and the caretaker of a goat named Chewbacca. I love working with youth and young adults, and I feel that is where my calling into full-time ministry lies. I truly appreciate all of the prayers and support people are already giving us as we prepare for our trip this summer. Thank you so much and God bless.
I dunno about you, but the shower can be a place of worship. Back home I love to sing in the shower. Lord, I lift Your name on High, Little Cabin in the Woods, Amazing Grace, and even Ace of Base have come from my bathroom from time to time. (Yes I saw the sign!) Today in Tutu’s Parents house here in northern Thailand I had another moment of worship. They had gracious let me use their only shower to rinse off and I had just finished up when the radio that was on in the kitchen caught my ear. A familiar tune wafted through the door. While the lyrics were in Thai, the melody was instantly recognizable. “Jesus Paid it All, all to Him I owe…” I sang along as I gathered my things and opened the door. Outside the ladies were preparing the meal for tonight. They too were singing along to the radio in their native Thai. I immediately joined in the chorus of Praise to the King. Oh what a picture of the church. Different Languages but Unified under the same faith. Praise God from letting come half way around the world just to take a shower.
