I got an e-mail earlier this week from Kevin, Generations Pastor at Grace Capital Church in New Hampshire. Grace Capital is Andrew Allard's home church in New Hampshire. Kevin sent me an e-mail, updating me on the progression of Andrew's story. (If you're new to RUNwithGOD, read about Andrew here and then here).
Since Andrew's passing we have seen 17 of his friends accept the Lord into their lives and have become regulars at Impact - our student ministry. We have prayed that the ripple effect of Andrew's life would continue on for years to come. I was recently up at Soulfest - a Christian Music Festival in Gilford, NH - and Andrew was again mentioned by one of the speakers onstage. He challenged all in attendance to live out their faith with the love that Andrew had for all people. Many people responded right then and there to "get off their evangelistic butts" and reach their friends for Christ.Andrew had a contagious faith that is still evident 5 months after his passing.
We all can use an evangelical butt-kicking now and again. Thanks, Andrew, living for the Lord so strongly that the echoes of your life are still reaching the lost.
