Adre Boykins "Sha'al"
Born into a Christian home and raised by a devout mother, Ach Andre spent 25 years faithfully rooted in the Christian church. At 18, he joined a ministry where he joyfully submitted to leadership, growing from a praise and worship member to leader, ordained psalmist, Sunday school teacher, vacation Bible school administrator, and ordained minister. His pastor was like a father to him, and he never imagined leaving the church or even questioning Christianity. However, around 2016, ABBA began awakening him, stirring a deep realization that something was missing. Though he could not yet explain it, he felt empty and knew there had to be more.
The turning point came through a teaching series titled “The Jewishness of Jesus,” which ignited a hunger for YAHUAH’S WAY. He began seeking the Hebrew COVENANT, gradually separating from Christianity as truth was revealed to him. Led by ABBA’S SPIRIT, he ultimately denounced his affiliation with the religion and fully embraced YAHUAH’S COVENANT, calling on His name and keeping the Shabbat. Today, he identifies simply as Ach Andre, a son, servant, and lover of ABBA YAHUAH, continuing to grow in truth. As a member of Watchmen Of YAHUAH, an Alabama-based music and teaching ministry, he helps share the word of YAHUAH, encourage the righteous, and warn the wicked through both music and teaching.
