St. Andrew's Apostolic Foundation

St. Andrew, known as one of Jesus's twelve apostles, has a deep-rooted connection to scripture, appearing in all four gospels. He is the brother of Simon Peter and comes from a fishing background, demonstrating the early call to discipleship when Jesus invites him and Simon to become 'fishers of men.' His Greek name highlights the cultural influences of the time, reflecting both their Jewish heritage and the Greek context they lived in. This backdrop adds depth to understanding his role, especially considering he initially followed John the Baptist and later brought others, including his brother Peter, to Christ.
