Andrew and Alison – Founders and Directors

Andrew and Alison Stone are the founders and directors of IYM (International Youth Movement ) and are the Assistant Pastors at the Worship Centre with Clark Taylor in Brisbane, Australia.

‘It’s not necessarily about having a huge bunch of young people because scouts can do that, but it is about having an on-FIRE bunch of young people, bold, unashamed and living for a cause bigger than themselves…then you watch the magnetic drawing power of the Holy Spirit bring in a multitude of young people ready to change the world'.

Andrew and Alison believe that the Holy Spirit brings the multitude and allows a generation to be empowered. Programs only support the working of the Holy Spirit not the other way around and that’s how we have seen 14 -year olds move powerfully in words of knowledge, 16 -year olds prophesy accurately, and all ages preaching like their lives depend on it…and the truth is, nations depend on this generation to act radically in order to see change in the name of Jesus!

Hearing from God and moving in the gifts of the Holy Spirit make young people realize that they are having a real experience with God Almighty, the author and creator of everything.

‘If you can save a generation, you can save a nation’. This is our message of hope to churches and youth ministries everywhere, you are not alone and God wants you to be an effective, impacting ministry that impacts this next generation for the good of your community and nation.

Andrew and Alison both have tertiary qualifications and call Brisbane, Australia, home.


'I have had the opportunity to sit under Andrew’s ministry on several occasions. He ministers with an exciting style that is easy to listen to. I have witnessed his zeal to search out the deep matters in the Word of God and his hard work to communicate this in a fresh and relevant way.

Andrew’s heart for people is truly evidence of his deep love for God. As a man, who has given his whole life to help others connect with God, Andrew is fulfilling his mission with great success. I look forward to a lifetime of searching the Word of God and seeking the Heart of God with Andrew. He is truly a man who lives his message. His message reaches deep into the hearts of those who hear and produces lasting life change. I could not recommend him too highly'.
