In 1982, Nigel founded "Nigel Andrews Ministries Inc.", and formed a faith-based non-profit organization known as "Christmas Year Round" (CYR). CYR seeks to impact lives by way of music, outreach, and benevolent assistance.

At first glance, one would think Nigel has had a somewhat easy and carefree life, but that's not the case. Not only has he survived a heart attack and 4 strokes, but he is also battling a disorder known as Myasthenia Gravis (MG) which placed him in Hospice Care in 2008 & 2009. MG was discovered when doctors found 17 small tumors near his lung area. However, through ups, downs, sickness, and health, Nigel has committed himself to assisting those who have been deemed "less-fortunate" by society. He has positively impacted the lives of thousands of disadvantaged families and individuals throughout the southeastern United States. "CYR" is an advocate for individual and community advancement, and encourages today's generation to live a life of civil morality by applying Biblical principles, regardless of their culture, race, or ethnicity.
