     The Word of God says in   11
 
              Prov. 22:6
 ”Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.”
 
 
My name is Andrew McClung. I am 26 years old and have been privileged to grow up all my life in church and serving God.  It is a blessing for me to have a heritage of my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents as Ministers and Pastors.
 
At an early age I became interested and very involved in the audio/video department at our church. This sparked a lifelong interest for me to pursue working in this field.
 
Upon graduation from high school, I joined the United States Air Force. Ps. 37:23 “The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.” During my enlistment, I would see time and time again how the Divine Protection and Favor of God was on my life. Little did I know when I was assigned to a squadron in basic training that I was in what ended up being the honor squadron of that cycle.  
 
After basic training, I went to Air Force Tech School in Texas. The class of 10 guys that I was assigned to was the most unified and respected class. The Training Instructors that were usually very strict and crude requested being assigned to our class. God blessed me during that time and I graduated as #1 of that class.
 
My first duty station was Spangdahlem, AFB Germany.  I remained there for 2 wonderful years. God directed my path by allowing me to be under a great supervisor. This was a supervisor that most people did not want to be under.  While across the ocean, with limited contact to home and family, my supervisor took it upon himself to fill that void. Not only was he a great mentor and instructor to me on duty, he also included me in his family off duty.  
 
I had become friends with a guy in basic training, we were assigned Tech School together and we both ended up on the same base in Germany. We also rented apartments across the street from each other. God definitely directs our path and He places people in our lives with whom we build lifelong friendships.
 
When I found out I was on the list for deployment to Iraq, I called home and my family and friends immediately prayed God’s will and protection over my life.  Ps. 91:11 says…”For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.”  Ps. 34:7…”The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.”
 
While prayer was going on back home, my supervisor went to the Senior Supervision and insisted that I be allowed to remain at our home base and continue my work on the F16’s I was assigned.  I had no knowledge of him doing this for me and this just proved how God’s hand of protection always covers us.  When I arrived at my duty station stateside I was again listed for deployment.  Due to scheduling issues I never had to leave. Once again, by God’s guidance and protection, He kept me at my base and safe.
 
After my discharge from the Air Force I returned home and completed my degree in Business and Commerce. Currently I am living my dream as a Freelance Web Designer.  God blessed me with the knowledge and skill for this field.  I started my company, AM Perspectives and I enjoy each new project. I also work with my family at Oasis Christian Center & Retreat in Franklin, KY. Here I get continue my passion from an early age by overseeing and operating all the audio/video systems.
 
Jer. 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” I give all Glory and Honor to God for watching over my life, guiding and protecting my steps every day, and that I have His promise of a Blessed future.
 
Ps. 34:8 “Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!”

A PERSONAL NOTE

 

I wanted to personally introduce you to Andy McClung. Andy is a wonderful Christian young man whom I met when I spoke at the “Time Together Ladies Retreat” in Franklin, Ky. He is the son of Pastors Robert & Janet McClung whose ministry is the Oasis Christian Retreat Center & Church.

Andy is an exceptional young man. In fact he is my ITT man, (my computer guy for those who haven’t learned all the new techie jargon). He recently designed my beautiful new website, takes care of all my technical needs, custom designs my templates, hosts my website and fulfills lots of other techie things!
 
I wanted you to get to know him. Hear his testimony and allow him to share with you some of the ways that God has moved in his life. If you have any computer needs– this is your guy. He is the best. I am honored to call him my friend.
 
When you do contact him (and I know you will), tell him Charli sent you! :)
