Since 1997 God has used Andy and to touch the lives of thousands. From the hearts of students to those of church leaders, his ability to reach others spans across the spectrum. Here are what other ministries, students and supporting organizations have to say:
“Andy’s ability to reach this generation is one of the best I’ve ever seen.”
Craig Groeschel Senior Pastor/Life Church.tv- Edmond, OK
“Andy has changed my life. He is so hilarious!! He is the only Christian youth speaker I have heard that really put things in a way that I could understand them and help me actually use what I learned! I had friends with me at camp who didn’t know Christ and they all said that for the first time a “church talk” was fun and meant something to them!”
Megan Student in New York
“Andy is passionate about creatively sharing the message of Jesus with this generation of students. He works to communicate the clear message of Christ, in a way that challenges a generation without any connection to church to know Jesus. If you put Andy in front of your students, you will not be disappointed.”
James Lankford Student Ministry & Evangelism Specialist/ Baptist General Convention, Falls Creek
“I recently attended a camp where Andy was the youth speaker. I just wanted to thank Andy for saving my relationship with Christ.”
Blake Student in Texas
“Andy Tilly came to Taiwan to speak to a group of Asian youth from five different countries. I was very impressed by his ability to communicate vital principals of youth ministry and leadership development in ways that the youth could easily understand and re-conceptualize to their own cultures. People talk about the declining attention span of today’s youth but Andy was able to easily hold their attention as they eagerly listened to him through four 90-minute sessions. Andy is a gifted speaker who is able to communicate to youth through the use of technology, creative illustrations, and humor.”
Dave Husby Asia Covenant Church Missions
“God really worked through my life at camp. Andy Tilly was our speaker and he was amazing. His sermons are awesome and really dug down deep into several hearts. God taught me not to be rude to other people, and to worship, and to start living for Him so thanks God and thank you Andy!”
Hunter Student in Arkansas
“Being in a mentoring relationship with Andy Tilly, I continued to be amazed at what God was doing in this young mans life as we met each week. I have seem him grow as a leader and communicator of the gospel. His gift is rare and it has been and continues to be a great joy being in his life. I believe there is a significant destiny for him in the kingdom of God. I am blessed to be part of his life and ministry.”
Jim Kuykendall Associate Pastor/Crosstimbers Community Church – Argyle, TX
“It was great to meet Andy Tilly in Taiwan. I learned a great deal from his teachings. Not only from what he said, but also from what he did. He is nice, gentle, humorous, creative, active, “funny” and “cool”. I think he must be the person that everyone loves. I can see the passion through his life. He is very serious to prepare every sermon to youth. He also taught me other creative ways to look and think about how to work with youth. He knows these young people’s hearts. He knows how to catch their eyes. He knows how to lead them to our Lord. And he desires to win their souls for Jesus. I really appreciate that he came to Taiwan to help us to have this youth mission camp.”
Fang-lin Liao King-Ho Church, Tai-Pei Taiwan
“I think Andy Tilly is a really good Christian speaker. He really cracks down and gets you to understand what he is talking about! I hope he keeps going and helps more teens come to believe in Christ because he has done that in my life and I thank him very much!”
Shelly Student in Minnesota
“Andy Tilly is one of the most captivating and dynamic youth speakers that I have ever heard. He has a clear vision, and a pure passion to reach youth who have not been reached before. Andy knows his part in the body of Christ. He is a youth missionary and in no way tries to take the place of the local church or a local youth group. Andy simply wants to be an extension that supports the ongoing mission of each local church.”
Paul Cunningham Pastor / Westmoore Community Church- Moore, OK
“I went to camp expecting another exciting week and the usual mid-30’s youth speaker that had been around the world. But this time it was different. All week Andy spoke to us about developing a better relationship with Christ instead of just calling myself a Christian and spoke on several things that seemed to be major problems in my life and with many other peoples’ lives at camp. The time that he had to speak with us not only impacted me, but many of my friends. He made sure we all knew that he was a goal-setter and he explained the importance of setting goals and really trying to accomplish them. It was apparent that God was really speaking to our youth through him.”
Tyler Student in Oklahoma
“Andy Tilly is one of the most gifted speakers I have ever met. His ability to connect with youth and those around him is compelling and engaging. During the time I’ve worked with Andy I’ve seen him lead literally hundreds of kids to Christ. Andy is committed, driven, sincere, and relevant. If you have the opportunity to have him speak at your event it will be evident why people are drawn to his style of speaking and why they respond as they do.”
Mark Ryan Worship Leader / Edge Church- Edmond, OK
“Andy changed my life by coming to our camp this year. I have always been a Christian and I grew up in a church. But he still brought up new things…things I had not thought of. He was great!”
Lauren Student in Nebraska
“While working with Andy I could feel the love that he has for youth and how much he has a drive and desire to reach them. He accepts them for who they are and will go to their levels to minister and show just how real God is by being real himself. He doesn’t sugar coat his messages, he is straight and to the point and I feel that he will lead many, many people to Christ in a practical way.”
Marlyse Rush Events Director Inner City Experience Dream Center- Tampa, FL
“I have seen Andy in various roles from the camping industry to youth ministry. He is the most creative communicator to the teen culture I have seen. The way that I have seen Andy interact and teach those around him as well as the countless hours spent in front of teenagers makes him the ideal speaker for any event. Over the 5 years that I have know him I have had the pleasure of watching how God has used Andy’s surrender to Him to change the lives of hundreds of young people.”
Peter Christnacht Executive Director / YMCA Camp
