Major Andy McMahon has become the Northern Representative for the Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Scripture Readers Association (SASRA) after 20 years’ service in the Army.
Andy was brought up in Northern Ireland in a Christian home and committed his life to the Lord when he was 13. He served in the Royal Irish Regiment before transferring to the Royal Artillery, in due course serving as a Battery Commander. He plans to continue as a Reservist with the Army alongside his SASRA Area Representative duties.
Looking ahead, a SASRA spokesperson said: ‘In November the nation pauses to remember the sacrifice of those who have served in our Armed Forces, and give thanks for the freedoms that they have secured for us. SASRA Scripture Readers have all served in uniform, and are uniquely placed to bring the good news of the gospel to those without God and without hope.
‘It is vital that those who face the dangers of military service hear the gospel, and are equipped to deal with the profound challenges of operations with a robust moral compass – which ultimately only the Christian faith can provide.’
