Source-derived summary

Andrew Wommack (born April 30, 1949 in Marshall, Texas) is an American conservative charismatic TV evangelist and faith healer. He founded Andrew Wommack Ministries in 1978 and Charis Bible College (originally Colorado Bible College) in 1994.

History

Wommack started to preach in 1969. He married his wife Jamie in 1972. Over the next six years, the couple led three small churches and had two sons, Joshua and Jonathan Peter. In 1976, Andrew broadcast his first Gospel Truth radio program on a little country-and-western station in Childress, Texas. The Wommacks founded Andrew Wommack Ministries, Inc. in 1978 and moved their ministry to Colorado Springs in 1980. With the exception of a few months, Wommack claims he has been broadcasting the program ever since. The Gospel Truth television program began on the INSP Network in January 2000 and was eventually carried by other Christian television networks and some individual stations.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Andrew Wommack” is tV evangelist and preacher. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Andrew, Wommack and evangelist, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1949, 1978, 1994, 1969—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1949-04-30, 1949-01-01—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. For this dossier, Andrew, Wommack and evangelist is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “tV evangelist and preacher” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4758967. VIAF identifies the subject as 2654429. The Library of Congress control number is n98077908. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1949, 1978, 1994 and 1969.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
