Having grown up as a missionary kid in Mexico City, Andrea is back in Mexico as part of the church-planting team to Aguascalientes.  This city of about one million people is a relatively new field for EFM.  The city of Aguascalientes has a great spiritual need since only one person out of every hundred have a relationship with Christ.  Andrea collaborates with her teammates in efforts to plant churches in the communities of Pocitos and Villas, and also has an outreach to musicians.

Ministry  Many people in Aguascalientes are jaded by the hypocrisy of religion and yet hungry for the true God; they yearn for the authentic truth and yet are stuck in the rut of tradition. Almost everyone will repeat the phrase, “Jesus died for our sins” but it is very rare to find someone who actually understands what that means and has a genuine faith in Christ’s work for us.
For this reason, Andrea Byrne serves as an ambassador of Christ to plead with the people of Aguascalientes to be reconciled to God. Through evangelism, discipleship, and Bible studies she dreams with the Aguascalientes team to see a church planting movement so that people will see the “light of the gospel of the glory of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 4:4

 Life Verse:  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."

  How to Support Andrea:

Timeless Prayers

• That the Holy Spirit would enable Andrea to love God above all else and to love others as much as herself.
• That Christ would destroy barriers that prevent people from understanding and accepting the gospel (specifically, works-based worldviews and loyalty to empty traditions).
• That God would use the Aguascalientes team to produce disciples of Christ.
• That God would motivate and equip national leaders for the churches.
