Board of Directors

March 23, 1968, was the day that Andrew Wommack’s life changed forever. God showed him just what supernatural love was really about, and Andrew’s theology transformed. God was a loving father that accepted him unconditionally and desired genuine fellowship with him. Ever since that day, Andrew has been taking the love of God as far and as deep as he can. He has written nearly forty books and hundreds of lessons. He began broadcasting the Gospel of grace and healing through his Gospel Truth television program and expanded in the digital age with his internet television network GospelTruth.TV and his website, awmi.net. In 1994, he founded Charis Bible College. What started as a vision in a small building has grown to more than fifty campuses around the world and thousands of students learning to walk in the power of God. In 2016, he established the Truth & Liberty Coalition, an organization dedicated to mobilizing the church to engage in public discourse. Andrew and his wife, Jamie, have been married for nearly fifty years.

Jamie Wommack has been an integral part of Andrew Wommack Ministries since its inception in 1978. She was the general manager for many years until the ministry grew so large that they required more personnel. She has led praise and worship and provided special music at Andrew Wommack Ministries Gospel Truth Conferences. Jamie continues to be involved with the ministry’s operations, travels to meetings, and ministers through music at AWM and Charis Bible College events. Her unique gifting touches the hearts of people with anointed and worshipful song directed to the Lord. In December of 2014, Jamie made her stage debut in the Charis production God with Us. She has since gone on to be a part of many theatrical performances at Charis. Jamie has been married to Andrew for nearly fifty years. They have two sons and a beautiful granddaughter.

Bob Yandian was the pastor of Grace Church in his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, for thirty-three years. In 2013 he began a new phase of ministry and passed the baton to his son, Robb, leaving Grace Church in his care. Bob now travels extensively, teaching in Bible schools, at ministers’ conferences, and in churches. Known as an excellent expository Bible teacher, Bob is focused on training up a new generation in the Word of God: “Just as I began my ministry teaching in a Bible school, I have now returned to complete the vision by helping to raise up a new generation of ministers, especially those called to pastor.” For this reason, he is often called a “pastor to pastors.”

Dr. Charles Byrd has served on the Andrew Wommack Ministries board of directors as an independent voting member since 2004. Charles attended Centenary College in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Presently he is an assistant clinical professor at the LSU School of Medicine. While his profession is in the field of healthcare and medicine, Charles has been an enthusiastic supporter of AWM for decades. He and his wife, Pam, have four children. “I met Andrew and Jamie in 1988. Prior to meeting them, my religious life was focused on the Baptist denomination in which I was a deacon. After attending my wife’s church and meeting Andrew, I became spirit-filled and addicted to the Word teaching he presented. “We began supporting his ministry over twenty-two years ago and helped put him on a local radio station in Shreveport twenty years ago. We have known Andrew and Jamie from their early years in ministry, when they were just on a few radio stations, and now they are seen by millions on worldwide television. My wife and I have been blessed to have had a close personal relationship with him and Jamie through the years.”

Dean and his wife, Carol, have been married for over fifty years, with three children and two grandchildren. “We met years ago while ministering at a conference together. My wife, Carol, and I immediately gained so much respect for both Andrew and Jamie. We met up again at the coordination of Paul and Patsy Milligan, another divine connection. “Serving with this ministry of big vision, spirit direction, and impeccable integrity is a distinct honor and unprecedented favor. “The friendship, the teaching, and the love and impartation to our entire family comes in supernatural abundance.”

Business is ministry, and daily provides opportunities to meet people’s needs personally, professionally, spiritually, and financially. Our lives have been forever transformed through the teaching, discipleship, and ministry of Andrew Wommack Ministries and Charis Bible College. We consider it one of our greatest honors to be a partner of this ministry and serve on the Board of Directors.”
