Meet Andrew Slagle! Andrew is currently serving as a Team Leader in Pais Colorado. He first joined Pais England and is now back in his home country! Andrew has shown a willingness to be used by God and has thus seen many young people drawing closer to Christ. Read Andrew’s story below:

“I heard about Pais for the first time when I was studying at Capernwray Bible College in England. Pete Baker, the National Director of Pais England, came to my school as a guest speaker and shared what Pais is and what they do. I loved studying the Bible and deepening my relationship with the Lord during that time, but when I learned about the heart behind Pais, I thought it would be a great chance to be the hands and feet of Christ and get involved in ministry. I joined Pais England 5 months later!

I felt like for many years I was a “Sunday Christian” and stayed in my comfort zone for a long time…I have only really begun to understand what the great commission really means, “Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations.” This statement rings even truer to me as I’m now serving back in my home country, USA!

Since I’ve been on Pais, I’ve gotten to help lead someone to faith for the first time, witness many student baptisms, and just walk with students in their faith journey. A story that sticks out, is about a middle school boy that started coming to our youth group last year. He was very outgoing and kind of a goofball, and it seemed like he was only there for the games and snacks. But when we had a worship and prayer night, he came up to me and asked for prayer and said that he wanted to follow Jesus. I was kind of taken back, but my heart was overjoyed! He gave his life to Jesus that night, and has been coming to youth ever since. Now he is regularly asking questions about God and how he can spend time with Him. His story is just one of the many students that we see drawing closer to the Lord. Praise God!”
