As Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 was falling from the sky about to crashing into the Indian Ocean in the worst terrorist strike before 9/11, Andy Meakins risked his own temporal safety so that others might have eternal safety.
Below is a photo of Andy Meakins serving the people of Ethiopia that he loved so much.
I grew up a missionary kid in Ethiopia. My former classmate and close friend lives and works at a couple non-profits in Addis Ababa now. Unfortunately, we just learned a good friend of hers, and of many people he has touched, did not survive a car accident. His name is Caleb Meakins, Andy’s oldest son. This podcast puts a new perspective on both their lives.
Rest in Heaven father and son. What a legacy to leave not only for Ethiopians but for all human kind. Thank you both for your service and for the love of Jesus you showed and left us with. You will never be forgotten. May God bless and comfort the family. Ruth Taye.
