Andy Churray’s tattooed arms are an outward symbol of the interior reality of his faith walk. Together with the fake tattoo sleeves worn by The BeatiDudes, Andy shares some of his favorite tattoos and the original stories for several of his faith-focused ink.
Andy is the interim Executive Director for Vagabond Missions.
As Jesus was a vagabond during his earthly ministry, wandering to the margins of society to bring home the wanderers, Vagabond missionaries follow his example and bring the Good News to those the world ignores. Vagabond missionaries build friendships with and serve teens in urban and inner-city communities through weekly programs, outreach, and personal mentorship.
When Bob and Kate Lesnefsky took their first positions in youth ministry at a parish in Schenectady, NY, they were surprised to find an inner-city community. They were even more surprised at how much fulfillment they found in bringing the Gospel to those on the margins. After four years in New York, Bob took what he believed at the time was the “dream” youth ministry job at a wealthy parish in Texas, but it only took a few months for him and Kate to realize that God was calling them back to the inner city.
Teens in the inner city face a cycle of neglect, violence, and broken family life. This destructive environment has dire consequences for them and society. Vagabond Missions intervenes during this time of crisis by inviting them into a relationship with God and others. Through outreach and mentorship, teens experience hope for their lives and a place to call home. When teens tangibly experience Jesus, their lives are transformed.
