Prayer Request/Update: Andrew from Northampton & My Father’s House

A year ago I (Matt) sent out a prayer request and told the story of a man named Andrew I met who was sleeping in his car in Northampton, MA. My friend Seth and I were at Pulaski Park in downtown Northampton doing street evangelism, and Andrew was there. I offered to take him to a recovery home several towns over called My Father’s House. Andrew stayed there several weeks, and during that time I discipled him, led him to repentance, and baptized him.

However, in spite if this progress, Andrew was a difficult person to work with for both me and My Farther’s House, and we both eventually cut off our relationships with him in the end.

Andrew recently resurfaced, and the second state appears worse than the first. He needs much prayer and fasting. I invite some of you to join me in prayer, maybe even fasting, for him and My Father’s House. He needs to be delivered completely from darkness, gain mental health, and learn to maintain relationships so he can sustain employment and reconcile with his family, including a young son. Pray for the team at My Father’s House as he has recently been unkind to them.
