The story behind Memory Cross^TM 

The story of this company is not about us at all. It's about God's plan and how He can use you to change the world around you. We all have opportunities to serve others.  God wants us to open our eyes.  When we do we'll find plenty of  places where God wants to use you and me.

The idea for Memory Cross™ was conceived by Andy Lambert. Andy wanted something that could be used in children's sermons to teach kids scripture that was fun. The result is Memory Cross™. 

In 1997, after ten years in the pastorate, Rev. Andy Lambert was appointed as a General Evangelist in the United Methodist Church. He is the founder of Isaac Ministries, an interdenominational ministry of evangelism and renewal.

In addition to preaching at many Conference events, Andy's uniquely diverse career has included ministry in small and large memberships, rural, inner-city, contemporary and traditional churches. He has a passion to reach youth for Christ, yet his preaching connects intergenerationally and cross-culturally.

Andy is the author of "Man-Eatin' Mutant Monsters from Mars" and co-author of the recently released, "Fuel for the Journey: A Guide for New and Growing Christians."

Rev. Lambert received a B.A. in Sociology from Appalachian State University and received his Master of Divinity in 1987 from Duke Divinity School. He has taught preaching at Pfeiffer University and is a sought after speaker throughout the Southeastern United States and the United Kingdom.
