East Coast Evangelism Conference

About ECEC

Welcome to the website of the East Coast Evangelism Conference! This is our second year, and we would like to provide a little information about the purpose of ECEC and how we are bringing quality evangelism training to the east coast and beyond

Positive Influence

The East Coast Evangelism Conference exists to positively affect the population of heaven.

God's Glory

We wish for there to be more people in heaven throughout eternity directly because of the influence of the teaching and training received at ECEC.

 

Winning one soul for Jesus Christ is worth more than being famous and pleasing a sinful world.

Andy Brewster

Youth Minister / Augusta Rd. CoC

Andy was born and raised in the great state of Carolina or “God’s country” as he likes to call it. He met his wife, Lena, on the first day of sixth grade at Lakeside Middle School in Anderson, SC. They have lived in Greenville since their marriage on April 14, 2007. Obi, Solo, and Chewie (all named for Star Wars characters) are their three dogs that keep life interesting at the Brewster house. Andy and Lena have a son, James W. Brewster, who is now waiting for them in Abraham’s bosom. They both long for the day when they can be not only with James, but also with their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Andy considers it a privilege to work with the A.R.M.Y. (Augusta Road Ministry for Youth) as the Youth and Family Minister at the Augusta Road Church of Christ. He also enjoys coaching the Brewtown Bruisers (his fantasy football team), playing golf (poorly) and taking walks around the neighborhood with Lena. You might often hear Andy whistling the old Toys R Us theme song “I Don’t Wanna Grow Up I’m a Toys R Us Kid” and his favorite passage is Matthew 5:14-16.

Adam Richardson

Pulpit Minister / Petersville CoC

Adam Richardson is beginning a new work with the Petersville church of Christ in Florence, Alabama after 10 wonderful years at the Seneca congregation in South Carolina. His wife of 16 years, Autumn, and his three children – Kaitlyn (14), Logan (11), and Macey (9) – fill his days with joy and a bunch of other mushy, gushy stuff. He feels very blessed by God to be allowed to be a minister in his spiritual family and lead such a wonderful physical one. He is awesome at disc golf – if you don\’t believe it, just ask him.

Jonathan Germany

Youth Minister / Georgetown CoC

Jonathan “Frodo” Germany was born on April 1, 1990. He is currently the youth minister at Georgetown church of Christ. He is married to the beautiful Kathrine Germany. They will be celebrating their 2 year anniversary June 30. He takes pride in being if not the only but the coolest Hobbit Youth Minister.

Clint Rowand

Pulpit Minister / Augusta Road CoC

Clint has been with the Augusta Road congregation since September 2009 and has been preaching for about 20 years. Clint graduated Ohio Valley University in 1993 with a B.A. in Bible and Religion and has worked with congregations in Ohio, Florida and North Carolina before moving to South Carolina. He is married to Amy (Grow) and they have two children. Michael is now attending OVU and Kimberly is a senior in high school. Clint is enjoying getting to know the area and working with the Augusta Road Church of Christ.

Brandon Edwards

Youth Minister / Buford CoC

I’m married to the love of my life Kristin, father to a beautiful little girl Charlotte Kimberly, living in the beautiful city of Buford, Georgia, while continuing my constant vagabond ways around the world. I’ve now lived on three continents and been to six continents overall. I’ve been in three different continents on the same day. I’ve seen people born, and I’ve seen people die. I’ve seen things in my life that people only dream of. I’ve traveled to remote Chinese villages where I was the first foreigner to ever visit. I’ve watched the sun rise and set over the waters of the Nile and Yangtze. I’ve baptized men and women on 3 continents. I’ve been persecuted, laughed at, followed, listened to, and ridiculed. I’ve jumped over taxis and survived earthquakes. I’ve been through Chernobyl, Mad Cows Disease, SARS, malaria, and Bird Flu. I’ve studied at the feet of great learned men and have fallen asleep on the shores of Vietnam after singing praises to God. I’ve won and lost thousands of friends. I’ve been so tired after a day’s work that I couldn’t stand. I’ve sinned, ridiculed, laughed at, persecuted others. I’ve been my own worst enemy. I’ve been an innkeeper, Scottish pastry chef, housekeeper, English University professor, missionary, soccer coach, Acapella singer, soccer player, and youth minister. I’m a big brother to 4, younger brother to 1, uncle to 3, husband to 1, son to 2, grandson to 5, son-in-law to 2, brother-in-law to 4, father to 1, and friend to thousands. I’m a geographical and cultural oddity. I’m Italian by culture, American by nationality. Despite my own intentions, God continues to work through me. I’m nothing without my God and nothing I’ve done or will do means anything without him. I’m a sinful, sinful man. I’m made whole by God’s loving grace and the power of His word. I live for Him and believe firmly that I will never accept what everyone else says is a good life. I will always do the strange, weird, \”why go there\”, type of lifestyle. I will not accept a mediocre life. I won’t settle down if it means becoming meaningless. I will seek a journey of a lifetime that will make people sit back and wonder \”How did he do that?\”. The journey has just begun.

I’m right, you’re wrong, and I’d love to tell you about it
