PROFILE

Andrew Corbett has Graduate level Advanced Certificates in Christian Doctrine, and Christian Mission from ICI University, (Springfield, Mi., USA), a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies from Emmanuel College, and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Cambridge Graduate School. He is currently the Australian President of the Assemblies of God Theological Distance Education College, ICI/Global College Australia.

Shortly after being born-again at the age of 15, Andrew sought the Lord for the baptism in the Holy Spirit. At the age of 16 he was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in other tongues, at Life Centre Geelong, under the ministry of Joseph Bowes. That night the Lord gave him a burden for the nations. He soon commenced to evangelise in his native city of Geelong, Victoria. Within a few years, he had travelled Australia street preaching.

In 1988 he married Kim! Together they ministered in Northern Victoria, then Melbourne. After pioneering a church in Melbourne, God spoke very clearly to Andrew about moving to Tasmania. At the time, Tasmania had the highest unemployment rate in Australia; the highest youth suicide rate in Australia; the highest welfare dependency of any state in Australia; and the highest negative population growth of any state in Australia. Ten years later (2005), these issues have largely turned around. God is moving in Tasmania.

Since September 1995, the Corbetts, with their three children, have pastored Legana Assembly of God now Legana Christian Church.

He has ministered in Keiv and Poltava (Ukraine); London (UK), Seville (Spain), Bali (Indonesia), Hanoi, Danang, Saigon (Vietnam), Johannesburg, Zimbabwe, and around Australia.

He has a heart to impart to other churches and regularly shares with pastors looking for extra support. Several churches are now relating to him.

His radio teaching programme, FINDING TRUTH MATTERS is heard across northern Tasmania, Australia, twice weekly and about to be aired across Australia. In June 2003 he was appointed as National President of ICI College Australia.

He enjoys reading good books, writing, and playing tennis (he is the club coach at the Legana Tennis Club). He barracks for the greatest football team in the known universe: Geelong Cats (in the AFL).

Along with several other Academics, Theologians, and Professionals, he was a founding member of the Tasmanian Family Institute- a family research think tank and social commentary organisation. This Institute was pivotal in changing some key public policy in the area of morality and family.

He is a husband, dad, preacher, teacher, and writer.
