National Community Church, Local Missions Protégé Program
Dan Andrews, a participant in the Missions Protégé Programs feels his mission is to encourage and edify the local and global church through personal relationship development, prayer, petition, and thanksgiving. As a Local Missions Protégé, he will be living life focused on the church’s A1:8 mission. Acts 1:8 (ESV) reads, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” The basis of this mission is to indeed ACT: to address poverty by assisting the poor, address disease by caring for the sick, and to address brokenness through the transformational power of reconciliation through the cross of Christ. It is his position to learn, lead, and take initiative in carrying out this mission regarding signature issues such as human trafficking within the city, those living with HIV, homelessness, and child advocacy. Some specific ways in which this will be carried out is organizing and leading community service projects, leading after-school programs at the Southeast White House, and potentiating dignity and respect to the homeless. As a result of addressing the aforementioned signature issues of the A1:8 mission, there will be a long term generational and spiritual impact. By developing long term relationships and empowering disciples the way Christ did, as well as leading His church through His Word and Spirit, the world will come to know, see, and understand the transformational message of the Gospel.
