Andrew McDonough je tvorca, spisovateľ a ilustrátor. Kedysi dávno v roku 1989, ako mladý študent biblickej vysokej školy, bol Andrew požiadaný, aby v malom zbore predniesol obávaný „prejav pre deti“. Andrew mal jeden talent: vedel kresliť ovce. Kúpil si fóliu na priehľadný projektor a nakreslil príbeh Cecil. Zbor to miloval, a tak Andrew pokračoval v kreslení príbehov na použitie s deťmi a dospelými. Ostatní študenti, pastori a učitelia si začali príbehy požičiavať. Predtým, ako sa Andrew venoval naplno Lost Sheep, bol pastorom WestCare, baptistickej misie vo vnútornom meste, ktorá pracovala s bezdomovcami, podporovala ľudí bojujúcich so závislosťami a obhajovala utečencov. Andrew je stále súčasťou komunity WestCare a dúfa, že príbehy Lost Sheep povedú k tomu, že generácia detí bude nasledovať Ježiša tým, že sa bude starať o chudobných. Pravidelne rozpráva príbehy a vedie workshopy v školách a kostoloch.

Meistens wird Markus 10,13-16 so dargestellt, dass Jesus ein friedlich schlafendes Baby auf dem Arm hält und ihm wohlerzogene Kinder andächtig lauschen. Doch in der Realität raufen und toben Kinder am liebsten mit dem, den sie lieben. Warum sollten sie bei Jesus eine Ausnahme machen?
