Meet our Founders

In 1972, Andrew and Jamie were married and began teaching Bible studies together. Over the next six years, they pastored three small churches and had two sons, Joshua and Jonathan Peter.  In 1976, Andrew broadcast his first Gospel Truth radio program, then founded Andrew Wommack Ministries in 1978. Before the turn of the century, God led Andrew to launch into television. “The Gospel Truth” aired its first program in January 2000 on the INSP network, with about 20 million subscribers. It was an instant hit.
