Andrew Cornett
New International Staff - Tokyo, Japan
I grew up in Auburn under a loving family and under Christian teaching. My faith, however, was completely intellectual until the end of high school, when one of my youth leaders challenged me with the difference between “knowing God” and “knowing about God”. Since then I’ve been seeking to know what it means to walk with the Lord, to know him and be known by him. God used several older guys to sharpen me and mold me along the way, several of which I was connected to through Onward. I ended up participating in each of Onward’s first two Tokyo Summer Projects, and soon found myself with a heart for mission work in Japan. I can’t wait to spend a year serving in Japan and see how the Lord works!
