Serving the Ethiopia Team with Mission to the World
Andy and Bev Warren began their missionary service with Mission to the World in 1982 and have ministered in Kenya, Hungary and Ethiopia. They have four adult children, Hannah, Cooper, Asher and Christopher and eight grandchildren. Since 1996 Andy and Bev have served in Ethiopia where Andy leads MTW’s mercy ministry team. In 2002, through a partnership with SIM Ethiopia, they started Ethiopia ACT. The team works with the poorest residents of Addis Ababa, caring for their medical needs and making sure their children are fed and sent to school as well as planting churches and discipling believers in the community with the vision is to reduce the impact of poverty and disease on the most vulnerable people of Addis Ababa so as to see communities transformed. In 2023, Bev and Andy officially transferred the leadership of Ethiopia ACT both to the local staff and the US directorship to their daughter Hannah Bansil. They continue to support ACT from the US, providing leadership, develop and coordinate medical teams as well as provide missionary care for the Ethiopia MTW missionaries. Bev’s missionary role now also includes a global position of serving as an adviser on the Field Leadership team that provides direction and oversite for all MTW field missionaries with a focus on Women’s Ministry.
