Andrea is a native Houstonian whose story is one of grace, redemption, and unwavering faith. Growing up in Southeast Houston at Bethel Baptist Church, she was raised in a loving Christian family and accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior at age 12, publicly declaring her faith through water baptism. Her passion for worship blossomed early as she sang in the youth choir, and under the loving guidance of her parents and grandparents, she learned to serve others. Often by her grandmother’s side, who faithfully led the missions ministry, Andrea visited the sick, cared for the shut-in, and helped organize women’s and children’s auxiliaries. These moments planted in her heart a deep love for prayer and an intimate connection with the Lord. However, Andrea’s teenage years brought painful challenges and unexpected detours. Heartbreak, disappointment, and rebellion led her down dark paths that left her questioning everything she had once believed. In her own “prodigal moment” (Luke 15:11–32), she reached a breaking point, crying out to God with a desperate plea: “If You are really who I’ve been taught You are, please help me—or take me home. I’m tired.” God heard her cry. At 26, He began to lead her on a journey of healing, restoration, and discovery—quietly shaping her heart for the purpose and destiny He had prepared all along. Andrea’s life was forever transformed during a church service with the late John Olsten, where she rededicated her life to Jesus and experienced her first powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit. She spent several years at Christian Hope Missionary Baptist Church, where her aunt faithfully served as church secretary, and later became a long-time member of New Christian Center Church under Pastors I.V. and Bridget Hilliard. Over the next 15 years, Andrea grew in the faith movement, raising her six children with the conviction that if God would teach her to be the best mother and daughter she could be, and if He would Father them all, she could rise from the pit of despair. Her children—and the need to care for her mother—became the driving force behind her relentless pursuit of God. In 2005, Andrea had a second supernatural encounter with the Holy Spirit, receiving the gift of tongues and praying for over 12 hours without speaking English. This encounter propelled her into a deeper prayer life and an intercessory calling. She began witnessing miraculous healings—some instant, others gradual—including the healing of her own father. Through it all, she clung to Psalm 23, her grandmother’s favorite passage, following the leading of the Good Shepherd. By 2011, Andrea experienced a third life-changing encounter with the Holy Spirit, this time being called into deliverance ministry. For an entire year, the Holy Spirit personally trained Andrea and her family in the seer gifts, spiritual discernment, and revelations of the unseen realm. She has been supernaturally transported into both Heaven and Hell, experiences that have equipped her to lead others out of captivity and into freedom. Her testimony and counseling work have touched countless lives, bringing hope to the broken and healing to the wounded. To further equip herself, Andrea received personal ministry from Laurie Davis, founder of Ask God Ministries in La Porte, Texas. Alongside Laurie’s team, Andrea experienced profound heart healing and a clearer understanding of her calling. She later attended Hilliard Vocational Bible Institute, followed by the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry’s satellite campus in Sugar Land, Texas. She has since received impartations from Father Heart Ministries, Restoring the Foundations, Catch the Fire Ministries, and many others. Most recently, Andrea completed a unique assignment within the Federal Justice System—a mountain of influence where God called her to intercede and shine His light. Now stepping boldly into her public ministry, she carries a fire-filled message of repentance and restoration, declaring with conviction: “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
