Andrew Wommack Ministries

Andrew Wommack founded Andrew Wommack Ministries and Charis Bible College over 37 years ago. Today, he continues as he has for nearly four decades, traveling throughout America and the world fulfilling the vision God placed in his heart: to teach the truth of the Gospel to the body of Christ with special emphasis on God’s unconditional love and the balance between grace and faith. He does this because he knows that the message the Lord has given him will change the way the body of Christ relates to God. Early in his ministry, Andrew began recording meetings and radio programs on audio cassettes for distribution. His tapes are available without charge to anyone who genuinely can not afford them, and today, the ministry has distributed over five million free tapes.
