Andrew Claeys believes that true leadership starts with serving others. His commitment to outreach is woven into every part of his life—from mentoring young people to delivering supplies for families in need. Whether it’s through his church, community organizations, or global missions, Andrew shows up with humility, consistency, and heart.
This page shares a few of the ways Andrew actively gives back through hands-on service and long-term impact.
Andrew partners with Cornerstone Church to meet the needs of foster families and vulnerable children in the Michiana area. One of his primary focuses has been supporting the church’s foster closet—a donation-driven outreach that provides clothing, supplies, and essentials to foster families when they welcome a new child.
From organizing donation drives to delivering items directly to families, Andrew sees this work as an extension of his core values: protecting what matters most and showing up for people in their most vulnerable moments. He believes the church should not only offer hope on Sundays but tangible help every day of the week. His involvement with Cornerstone continues to grow as he works alongside others to serve with love and lead with purpose.
As a Big with Big Brothers Big Sisters, Andrew builds relationships that go beyond mentorship. He’s been matched with young men who needed consistency, encouragement, and a role model to walk alongside them—not just for a few hours, but for the long haul.
Andrew approaches every match with the same mindset: show up, listen well, and make a difference through presence, not perfection. Whether it’s shooting hoops, talking about school, or helping navigate life’s challenges, he invests in each relationship with compassion and commitment. For Andrew, mentorship isn’t just about shaping the next generation. It’s about reminding every young person that they matter, they are seen, and they are not alone.
Andrew’s heart for outreach extends far beyond his own community. Through his involvement with YWAM, he has served internationally on short-term missions that challenged him spiritually, emotionally, and physically. From leading evangelism efforts to engaging with communities in need, Andrew has gained a deeper perspective on service, culture, and what it means to truly live out your faith.
Just as important as the mission itself is the return home. Andrew helps other missionaries adjust to life after a trip—supporting them as they reintegrate, process their experiences, and apply what they’ve learned to everyday life. He understands the culture shock, emotional weight, and need for community during that transition, and he’s passionate about helping others navigate it with grace and purpose.
Whether he’s coaching a client, mentoring a student, or helping a family in crisis, Andrew’s approach is always the same: lead with love, act with purpose, and stay rooted in faith. Outreach is not a side project. It’s part of his mission.
