Andy was a wonderful example of a godly man. He was humble, servant-hearted, passionate and prayerful, with a great sense of humour. He loved Jesus, studied and handled scripture with wisdom, and believed wholly in the power of the gospel. Andy was also passionate about evangelical unity. He served as a board member of Evangelical Alliance Scotland for many years and his wisdom and partnership was instrumental in a great deal of our work. We will greatly miss Andy, but know he will have heard the words, ​“Well done good and faithful servant.” We give thanks for Andy and pray for his family. ## Read next [ All news & views ](/news-and-views) - [ ![Assisted suicide rejected by Scottish Parliament](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ![Assisted suicide rejected by Scottish Parliament](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) Assisted suicide rejected by Scottish Parliament 18 March 2026 ](https://staging.eauk.org/news-and-views/assisted-suicide-rejected-by-scottish-parliament) - [ ![Turn the battle at the gate](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ![Turn the battle at the gate](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) Turn the battle at the gate 13 March 2026 ](https://staging.eauk.org/news-and-views/turn-the-battle-at-the-gate) - [ ![The relationship between faith and wellbeing in Northern Ireland](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ![The relationship between faith and wellbeing in Northern Ireland](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) The relationship between faith and wellbeing in Northern Ireland 9 March 2026 ](https://staging.eauk.org/news-and-views/the-relationship-between-faith-and-wellbeing-in-northern-ireland)
