A follower of John the Baptist, Andrew was one of the first to follow Jesus — and the first thing he did was find his brother Simon Peter and bring him to the Lord.

Throughout the Gospels Andrew keeps introducing people to Jesus, including the boy with the loaves and fish before the feeding of the five thousand.

He is remembered as a quiet connector, faithful in pointing others to Christ.
