One of the various ministries of OM is ownership and op- eration of the Logos Hope Ship. The theme for this year’s Missions Fest Seattle’s conference is taken from his recent book, SCATTER: Go There- fore And Take Your Job With You. Andrew, as a leading Christian strategist, has discovered that of the 7 billion people on earth today, 2.8 billion are living outside access to the Gospel. It’s estimated that about 57,000 souls are added to that number daily. Speaker Scott is a visionary and looks for Holy Spirit led shifts on how to address this reality as a follower of Jesus. To this end, OM has created ScatterGlobal.com. This vehicle encourages professionals, students and churches to take their jobs and their faith to places that need the Lord, be that next door, across the country or to the least reached marketplaces of the world. “Before we were created, God thought of how Since leaving his home of Northern Ireland at He would use us to ful ll His purposes, and then age 19, his work has taken him to more than 75 He made us accordingly. He not only made us countries. Andrew and his wife, Sharon, have for a purpose. He then gave us His Holy Spirit two adult children and love to breed and show to enable us to live that purpose out for His Sta ordshire Bull Terriers. In his spare time, he is Glory.
