International treatment ministry leader Andy Partington grew up in a rehabilitation center, where his parents worked, and witnessed both the destruction wrought by addiction and the hope born out of recovery.

This led Partington to spend a year as a missionary after high school before continuing his education and eventually pursuing his doctorate at the London School of Theology, where he also served as director of training. Partington later served as the CEO of the Yeldall Manor addiction treatment center, where he was raised, and now leads the recovery center Novō Communities. He recently wrote the book “Hope in Addiction” to provide understanding and encouragement for the fast-growing population of those who grapple with addiction.
