Andrea's Bio
Andrea Lennon, born in
Searcy, Arkansas in March 1976, spent
the first few days of life in a hospital waiting for her parents, James
and Sandra Morris, to pick her up for adoption. Following the adoption,
Andrea went home to Paris, Arkansas where she and her family
lived for the next eleven years.
At the age of six,
Andrea received Jesus Christ as her
personal Lord and Savior during a revival at First Baptist Church in
Paris, Arkansas. From a very early age, Andrea loved going to church
and felt at home with the people of God.
Andrea and her family
moved to Harrison, Arkansas in 1987.
During her years in Harrison, Andrea’s love for the Lord
began to
blossom and grow. Church activities challenged Andrea to live out her
Christian faith each and every day. The youth group and the
women’s ministry group at First Baptist Church, Harrison were
vital ministries used by God to encourage Andrea to grow in her love
and knowledge for the Word.
God called Andrea into
full time vocational work at the age of
eighteen. Unfortunately, Andrea did not respond to this call.
In 1996, Andrea married
Jay Lennon; and after a year of
marriage, Jay and Andrea settled in Conway, Arkansas. Once in Conway,
they established a typical “newlywed” routine
meaning going
to church on Sunday and living like the world on Monday. This routine
went on for a couple of years but soon became unfulfilling. Both Jay
and Andrea knew something was missing in their lives; and it did not
take long to figure out “it” was not something but
someone.
Jay and Andrea began
seeking the Lord and soon radical changes
became evident in their lives. During this time, God called Andrea to
full time vocational work for a second time; and praise His name she
responded “yes”!
In August 2001, Andrea
enrolled in Southwestern Baptist
Theological Seminary and graduated in December, 2004 with a Master of
Arts in Christian Education. While in Seminary, Andrea served at Second
Baptist Church, Conway, Arkansas as Adult Ministry Intern and later
served as Interim Minister of Education at Second Baptist Church in
Jacksonville, Arkansas.
Andrea loved local
church work; but God called her out of this
ministry in order to focus on teaching women the Word of God through
True Vine Ministry. Jay and Andrea have been married for over 10 years
and are blessed with two sons, Jake and Andrew. The Lennon’s
praise God daily for His many blessings and His incredible grace.
