On June 27, Casting Crowns asked for prayer for their former drummer Andy Williams. Andy was struck by a vehicle on his motorcycle and was in severe condition. Over the weekend, Casting Crowns shared the devastating news that Andy passed away early on Friday morning (July 9).

"While we mourn that Andy isn’t here with us and that we didn’t get to witness the miracle we longed for here on earth, all of our prayers were answered," Casting Crowns' frontman Mark Hall posted. "He is healed, he is awake and we believe that he is more alive today than he has ever been. We hold fast to Paul’s words that we look not to the things that are seen, but to those things that are unseen, for they are eternal. We celebrate that Andy is in the arms of his Savior and we are grateful for the memories and laughter that Andy brought to all who knew him."

Please join us in praying for Andy's family during this difficult time.
