Born in Northern Ireland, Andrew joined a two-year training program on board OM’s ship MV Doulos at age 19. His time on the ship influenced him to study Theology at Belfast Bible College and to impress on his heart the importance of the Church in God’s plan for the world.

On visits to college campuses, he met many students who desired to live their lives for a greater cause and were looking for a place to serve. Andrew later became Vice President of Mobilization at OM USA, with a challenge to mobilize the body of Christ throughout America.

As President/CEO (since 2010) Andrew leads the Operation Mobilization team in the US to inspire, equip, and connect American Jesus followers to serve the least reached for the glory of God.

As part of Andrew’s vision to inspire everyday believers to share the love of Jesus in least-reached places, he and his team launched Scatter Global which was awarded the eXcelerate Award by Missio Nexus in 2017 for innovation in training models and missionary preparation.

Dilys Chau

Dilys Chau was the Chairlady for the Association of Christian Accountants from 2014-2017. Dilys received her calling for the marketplace and has more than 17 years of experience in running Alpha at her company. She has co-founded the Marketplace Church in her office which operates on a 5-day basis. She is a staunch advocate for expressions of church in the marketplace and believes the Early Church model is a marketplace model – saved souls can be added to the Kingdom on a daily basis as in Acts 2:46-47 – when the unsaved can meet Jesus daily (in the marketplace). She often uses numbers to illustrate why an effective marketplace church model will usher in massive salvation and Kingdom penetration for the whole Hong Kong. She believes a revolutionary paradigm shift is necessary to cause the local church network to partner with marketplace Christians to co-labour for the revival of Hong Kong!
