‘Teaching the trade I know’
C
ars have played a key role in Andy Cowie’s life. They are part of his heritage, his first job and his introduction to his wife. Now, cars have drawn him to Haiti, where he and his wife, Jutta, serve as Cooperative Baptist Fellowship field personnel. He’s using his
Cowies provide skills training, share God’s love in Haiti
passion for cars to change lives and share the love of Jesus. Andy grew up in England, spending lots of time with his grandfather and father, both mechanics. At age 10 he was filling up customers’ cars and changing money at his father’s garage. By age 16 he was a mechanic. Although his love for vehicles never
changed, Andy’s heart was drawn to missions. As an adult, he often spent two weeks a year doing short-term missions in Romania, where his church sponsored four villages. He visited Romania 13 times. He could see a change in the lives of the people he ministered among, but he wanted to be more directly part of that change.
