Hello I'm Andrea

...and I am overjoyed that you are here! I hope as you further connect with our community you will find yourself growing deeper in intimacy with Jesus, becoming stronger in your identity in Christ, and walking through the rest of your life free from the bondage of the enemy. It was for FREEDOM that Christ set us free (Gal. 5:1), but most often, people do not know how to grab hold of, establish themselves in, and live out the freedom that is already theirs in Christ. This is my passion, calling, and purpose...to see YOU living in the fullness of God's promises in your life.

My Past...

As a young adult, I struggled with anxiety, depression, abandonment, anger, and suicidal thoughts. I grew up in an abusive home and did not know how to trust the Lord with all the broken pieces of my life and allow Him to heal me fully and completely.

I also grew up in church and knew what the Bible said about the Lord healing the brokenhearted and turning our sorrow to joy, but I did not know how to apply these scriptures to my life to see real change. You can read more details of my story in my book Arise and Stand.

My Journey...

My journey started when I began seeking freedom in Christ from the oppression that hindered me. This longing to be free birthed in me a desire to see others set free and walking in the fullness of the Lord. Scripture is full of beautiful promises available for followers of Christ, but it was rare to see these promises in my life or the lives of other believers I knew. I wanted to know why.

Over time and through seeking, trusting, and applying scripture to my life, Jesus took a very broken young woman and transformed me into a confident woman full of joy and hope. I made a determination that I did not want to just read scripture, but I wanted to live it out in my life. Freedom is a series of decisions to fully surrender and align with truth.

In my 30s, I went back to school to pursue a Master's in Organizational Leadership. This program changed the course of my ministry. I signed up for a class that culminated with a trip to Rwanda Africa. The Lord spoke to my heart in Rwanda and began weaving together the different threads of my life. I founded I Will Stand International, a ministry that works to rescue, restore, equip, and empower vulnerable women and children around the world. I told the Lord in the beginning of IWSI that I didn't want to be a character development ministry or simply put a band-aid over issues. I told him I wanted IWSI to be a ministry that He used to transform people at a foundational level. I wanted to see real and authentic freedom from oppression. Since 2012, He has been answering this prayer through the people He sends our direction.

My Commitment to You...

I am honored, excited, and grateful for the culmination of content, trainings, coaching, events and our community that have been birthed as a result. My passion, purpose, and mission in life is to partner with you and share the knowledge needed to walk in the fullness of the Lord, completely unhindered from the bondage of the enemy. Not only do I want to share this knowledge, but I want to walk with you on your journey to freedom. This desire birthed our freedom coaching program. There is no greater joy than walking out this transformation with a client.

So, welcome! I am glad you are here. I have walked where you are going. I am here with you and am happy to take your hand and show you the way to full freedom in Jesus.

I look forward to working with you and cannot wait to see what the Lord does in your life!!

“Now then, stand still and see this great thing the Lord is about to do before your eyes!" 1 Samuel 12:16

Client Review

"Trust the Lord. And Andrea. Anything that is revealed from the demonic or from Holy Spirit will serve the purpose of healing and freedom if you are open and allow it to. That is the only intent of the sessions. We have a real Enemy. And this process is a powerful weapon in your arsenal to fight him. I also believe that for this session to be all that it can be, stepping in with a fully surrendered heart will allow for greater freedom and break chains you didn't even know were there. Be excited for what the Lord is about to do in your life!!"

Client Review

Below are excerpts from a text thread with one of my Break Away Break Through clients. She received complete freedom during her first session and seemed to really understand spiritual strategy that I seriously wondered what her and I would do the rest of the 8 sessions. However, the enemy worked to trip her back up in a few areas as he does with all of us. He works by trapping us, deceiving us, tormenting us, and spreading doubt.

Rarely do one session clients rebook follow up sessions yet based off of my work with longer term clients, I know they still encounter areas where they struggle back and forth with the enemy yet have no one to help guide them through it.  Thankfully, this client went all in from day one. She locked herself in to a longterm plan, committed to stay the course, and freedom became fully hers.
