Andrew Cannon

Andrew Cannon is an Evangelist born and raised in Liverpool, UK. The hand of God radically touched him in 2010 when he called on the name of Jesus.  His life was full of destruction and addictions, alcohol, drugs and self-harming. It was on Andrews very first encounter with the love and power of Jesus that he was transformed.  He was completely and instantly set free, his life of destruction and the chains of the enemy were broken off.  He now lives a life sold out for Jesus, Andrew has lead 1000’s to the Lord through the love, truth and compassion of Christ and encourages believers to do the same in their everyday life. The name Gospel Grenades was born from a dream Andrew had, he was walking through a war-torn city, gangs of people where on street corners plotting destruction.  Andrew looked down and the Lord had placed grenades into both his hands, it seemed strange to him but he felt Jesus tell him to throw them into the crowds.  Once thrown the grenades exploded in the centre of the crowds with adverse effects, instead of bringing destruction, the explosions brought REVIVAL, PEACE, JOY, LOVE, UNITY, GROWTH, KINDNESS, FAITH, RECONCILIATION.  Whilst travelling through an airport a couple of weeks later Andrew was surprisingly stopped by airport security, they swabbed his hands and found explosives, having not been in contact with any kind of explosive material, Andrew felt this was confirmation in naming their ministry, Glory to God!
