Our Story
DJ Andrews desired a life of significance. To that end, she agreed to trust God and obey His voice - no matter the cost. Since that time, her life became anything but normal! The true stories shared in this book will encourage readers to explore deeper levels of faith than ever before.
This "ordinary" woman, who's lived an extraordinary life, has organized events for thousands, many of whom were introduced to faith in God for the very first time, ran companies with no prior experience and even left a vibrant career behind to travel half-way across the world with a family of five, to a place completely unknown to them, simply because it was asked of them. With this move came no backing organization, no jobs, no friends and no idea as to why they'd been asked to "go"- and yet, in faith and in obedience, they went!
Although DJ Andrews' faith was tested many times, through financial hardship, chronic illness, personal opposition and more, her story also chronicles a life lived in the miraculous - dreams, visions and incredible God-ordained encounters. She experienced first-hand, the power of God at work in, and through, the anointed arts!

The Impact
These are difficult times. Folks need encouragement. They need to understand that even on the darkest of days, God is with them. They need to witness and receive testimony of a life of faith to which they can relate. There are many stories of persecution in the faith from other countries, which are riveting and truly compelling but not many from the vantage point of a "regular" person from the western world.
DJ Andrews has spent 14 years living this story and 3 years writing it and believes, strongly, that this is a story which must be heard. Please participate in encouraging others in their walk, by giving what you can so that this story, and the valuable lessons learned, can be shared.
"You Want Me To Do WHAT?" will challenge those new to faith in God and strengthen those who already live by faith.

OUR OFFER TO YOU!!
While the IndieGoGo campaign goal is $18,000, we believe that we will achieve our goal to raise $25,500 in order that we might create a product of excellence.
If however, we do not receive the necessary funds to print 5000 off-set, high quality books, then we'll switch to the print-on-demand option, which has a lower up-front cost, but a higher cost incurred for each and every book printed. This way, even if we don't acheive our goal, we do have another option for putting those donations to good use.
If we DO receive the necessary funds to print the book, this is what we'll do:
*For every donation of $40+, YOU will receive a signed copy of the book
*For every donation of $100+, YOU will receive a signed copy of the book plus we will donate two books to missionaries of your choice
*For each subsequent gift of $100, the same as above will apply
ie) a $300 gift would mean - 3 copies of a signed book for YOU and six books go to missionaries. If you don't know that many missionaries, we have access to names. AND... if you have access to names that you'd like to give us, we're open to receiving those names and addresses from you and will add them to our list of possible recipients.
We believe the Christian missionaries will be greatly encouraged by this gift which is why we have chosen to bless them in this way.
*For every gift of $1000+,you will receive the same as above and you might even get a hug! Actually, we are open to suggestions for this level of giving.
