The Inspiration Behind Andrewman Ministries.

Mike, who was inspired by God and his superhero and grandson, Andrew Petrea, founded Andrewman Ministries on March 24, 2008. Andrew loves superheroes and his grandfather, Mike, is amazed at how much of a superhero Andrew has been throughout his ongoing illness.

On September 16, 2006, at the age of 3, Andrew Petrea was diagnosed with an Ependymoma brain tumor. After his diagnosis Andrew had 2 major brain surgeries, 2 different kinds of radiation, and chemotherapy. In August of 2007, Andrew had a MRI that showed that the tumor had come back and spread in his brain as well as his spine. He has since been on several different kinds of chemotherapy and additional radiation to his spine.

Since his diagnosis, Andrew has played a season of T-Ball as well as gone through first grade, and will start second grade in the fall. Throughout his illness Andrew has shown that he is unwilling to let his condition bring him down and keep him from being as normal as possible. It is because of this that Andrew is our superhero and an inspiration to us all.
