Mack Charles Andrews was the pastor of the United Pentecostal Church in Thomasville, Alabama. I confess what this man did has haunted me. He is extraordinarily evil. He raped several children. And now a content warning, do not go further if details of abuse sicken or trigger you. This is one of the most evil of all the predators I have written about.
