Summary

Raised in a nominal Christian family in Madagascar, Patrick Andy attended church out of habit until a high‑school friend invited him to a vibrant worship service. Though he’d never played bass, he joined the worship team and later attended a 5‑day crusade led by a visiting preacher. There he encountered genuine stories of Jesus’s love and healing, surrendered his life to Christ, and experienced the power of prayer. In 2000 he moved to the U.S., overcame language barriers, and found a church family that continues to support his faith and music ministry.
