Vision

In may of 1999, Andrew Friesen (then 23 years old) was on his way to play golf when he felt that he should help a young man whose car broke down on the side of the road.  He gave the man a ride home and talked to him about Jesus.  As Andrew was sharing the good news of what God had done for him, the Holy Spirit opened that young man’s hear to receive Jesus.  At that moment, there was an unspeakable joy and compassion that filled Andrew’s heart, and he heard God speak to him saying, “Preach the Gospel!” This love for souls propelled him to share Jesus anywhere and everywhere.  Since that day, he has never stopped sharing the good news of what God has done.  The vision found in Revelations 7:9 burns with fire in his heart as Andrew believes that Gospel will be preached in all the world as a witness and then the end will come.  (Matt; 24:14)

“After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.” (Revelations 7:9)

Through Gospel festivals, miracles services, leadership training, and personal evangelism, Andrew has had the priviledge of leading thousands to experience a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in more than 12 countries of the world.  He is known for his compassion for the lost, preaching the the simple gospel, being used by God in healing, miracles, and the fire of the Holy Spirit.  

Andrew is the president and founder of World Gospel Explosion and is ordained with Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada.  

Currently, Andrew is based out of Winnipeg, Canada and lives in Barranquilla Colombia where they serve in the ministry together.
