Outdoor Expeditions

Andrew Martin is a visionary leader, author, and founder of The Hearts of the Father Outdoor Expeditions—a faith-driven movement restoring the next generation through the restoration of manhood and identity.

 

From his beginnings as a mentor and outdoor guide, Andrew has built a legacy that reaches across state lines, mentoring boys from hard places and calling men back to their rightful role as fathers, protectors, and leaders.

​

As a son of both faith and experience, Andrew’s calling was forged through his own story of adoption and redemption. His conviction is simple but powerful: strong men build strong families, and strong families build strong communities.

 

What began with a single tent and a handful of boys in Texas has grown into a brotherhood impacting over 1,100 boys through rugged outdoor mentorship, biblical teaching, and real-world examples of grit.

 

Through The Hearts of the Father Outdoor Expeditions, Andrew has created a model where boys learn discipline through adventure, identity through responsibility, and belonging through brotherhood.

 

His message—rooted in faith and forged in the outdoors—is clear: manhood and Christlikeness are not just related; they’re inseparable.

​

Now based in Northwest Arkansas, Andrew continues to build partnerships with churches, foster agencies, and civic leaders to ensure that every boy—regardless of his past—finds a place to belong and a man to follow. Under his leadership, The Hearts of the Father has become more than a nonprofit; it’s a movement of restoration, vision, and legacy.

​

As the author of Hidden Love, Andrew shares his journey of adoption and faith, offering hope to families and young men alike. Whether speaking from a pulpit, sitting by a campfire, or guiding a team through the wilderness, his life carries a single message: the world changes when men stand up, take responsibility, and lead with heart.
