“After many years of great mercy, after tasting of the powers of the world to come, we still are so weak, so foolish; but, oh! when we get away from self to God, there all is truth and purity and holiness, and our heart finds peace, wisdom, completeness, delight, joy, victory.” Charles Spurgeon

A Local Church Pastor
“Through personal storytelling, biblical preaching, and literally getting us out of the church and into a mosque, Andy walked alongside our church with the question, “Compelled by God’s love, what does it mean to love our Muslim neighbor?” Wise, gentle, and prophetic, Andy doesn’t just talk about peacemaking–he lives it.”Website
Lay Church Leader
“Andy spent a weekend at our church recently speaking about his bridge building relationships with Muslims. This approach resonates in contrast with so much media attention to extremists. It was a new message for a lot of our members, but they seemed willing to listen and be open because of Andy’s gentle and non-threatening presence. Now we can discuss this topic more freely and see our Muslim neighbors in a new light, building friendships as God leads.”
Professor of Reconciliation Studies
“We recognize you as an agent of change for reconciliation and an influential community leader. We’d like to invite you to influence the next generation of community leaders here at Seattle Pacific University.”
Pastor
“Andy Larsen recently gave a presentation and engaged our congregation around the question, “Who is our neighbor?” His knowledge and experience as a bridge-builder and peacemaker was evident as he encouraged us to look outside our normal circles of friendships. Andy is well-suited for this ministry as he travels effortlessly between Muslim and Christian communities and invites us to do the same.”
Website
Just discovered this site, filled with amazing images and thought-provoking commentary! (I recall I wasn’t sure I wanted to be ‘Facebook friends’ when the request popped up..!) We have much in common in the area of ‘deep questioning’ about what it means to be ‘evangelical’ Followers of Christ in our culture today…I’m thankful to read your thoughts and know there are others who ‘wrestle’ with The Spirit Who Will Not Let Us Go…Until the ‘sign’ of the Cross is indelibly etched in our heart..! Thank you for being ‘transparent, ‘Brother’ Andrew, sharing your vision in seeing Creation with a gifted eye, and sharing the vision of a world at peace, as we learn what it means to be the ‘Children of GOD’! Looking forward…
Thanks Ivana. I promise, I won’t spam you with religious gobbledygook. Thanks for your honest response.
