Andrew grew up in a Christian household. He was adopted at 3 months old from a Catholic orphanage in Lewisham. His adopted father, a senior naval officer, was a devout Anglican, and his mother a devout Roman Catholic.

He was educated at a Catholic prep school and public school.

Andrew loved the liturgy and worship in the Catholic Church.

He's always been a believer, but had not realised until 2004 that he did not have a close, personal relationship with his Maker. In September 2004, at a Hillsong service in London, he found his left hand high in the air responding to an altar call with a gold thread tied around his first and second finger, reaching up into the sky. Perhaps it was like the thread around Jacob and Esau's fingers. Try as he might he could not pull his arm down, not knowing why it was up there. Jesus had ambushed him. The Heavens opened up, and he felt incredible heat and love pouring all over him. He was given video clip pictures rapidly, one after the other as Jesus reminded him saying, "Do you remember that?", repeatedly for each scene. These were scenes that one would have chosen to forget, displaying the collapse of his 20-year marriage, lying, deceitfulness, arrogance, lust, and failure. "You're forgiven. I love you.", He said. And Andrew saying sorry crumpled into the arms of his friend, Elise, who'd been instructed by the Lord to bring him there. That day was the beginning of a tough bootcamp which lasted many years.

Andrew stayed with Hillsong for six years, and immersed himself in all activities, surrounded by loving brothers and sisters who nurtured him. He lead cell groups, and began to realise he loved teaching, mentoring and encouraging.

In 2008 the Lord lead him to Lakeland where he began to experience the awesome power of the Holy Spirit.

Shortly after he was baptised in the Holy Spirit in the UK. Unwittingly he started to walk in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, unaware of these anointings.
