I first met Andrew Annan on a bright Sunday morning when he picked me up to visit their church service at ICA, Hong Kong. Beulah Akka was my childhood neighbour and my elder brother s’ contemporary. Since my serviced apartment was close to their Kennedy Road Apartment, Beulah Akka would often invite us over for Saturday evening dinner to share a meal. It was then that we discovered that Andrew’s mother and my grandmother attended the same church, the Kirk.

Andrew was very good at explaining difficult concepts in the Bible. He was also patient and kind, never minding always sharing the family times/ weekends with friends, always encouraging and blessing us in our Christian faith. All this, despite being a ‘ reserved’ person himself.

My husband attended the weekend ministry Shubh Samachar, Sindhi Fellowship at Kowloon every Saturday.

When my parents visited me in Hong Kong in the year August 2000, Annan and Akka arranged for a wonderful evening on the company’s launch,’ Junk’. We had a memorable time and my parents remembered his kindness towards them, making their holiday truly unique.

When my husband and I relocated to Hong Kong it was Gods special care upon my life, that I was blessed to have Andrew Annan and Beulah Akka in my life.

It is difficult when I think of Andrew , not to mention Beulah . They brought out the best in each other. They served the Lord together in their own ways- he explained the Word in simple terms and Akka was hospitable, complementing and completing their roles as Christian mentors to many of us.

God bless this beautiful family ❤️

Andrew was an extremely compassionate, caring, thoughtful & helpful person.

When I suffered from a severe asthmatic attack in my office at Cuffe Parade, Andrew came to my office & took me to his house as his daughter was at home & when we reached Andrew's house, he immediately called Beulah at her work place & told her to come home immediately to look after me. After she came, he went back to his office.

Whenever I had an asthmatic attack during Andrew's Bible study, Andrew would immediately stop the Bible class for a short time & say " Carmel is not feeling well. Let's all pray for her."

I will never forget Andrew. I will always remember him for all the good he did.

Andrew went out of his way to be thoughtful
He went out of his way to be nice;
He went out of his way to do favours;
And he did it without thinking twice;
That's why these words are sent just to say;
That I'm grateful for his kind & considerate way;
And for being so helpful;
It means much more than just mere words could ever say!

Kind & thoughtful people like Andrew are few & very rare,
They show how much they care,
And a Thank you isn't enough,
But it's just a small way
Appreciating all the good Andrew did each day.

Right from my college days in Mumbai, Andrew looked after me, and was always available for a chat, encouragement and advice for me, at his lovely home. Then when I came down with jaundice, he and Beulah took me into their home for almost three weeks and nursed me back to strength and wholeness.

Also, I am forever indebted to Andrew for being the first person to push me to stop planning and to take the plunge into business.

After my marriage, he was the one who encouraged, prodded, and at times even scolded, me so that I would be a better husband.

Later, when the business fell into difficult times, it was Andrew who gave me hope, affirmation, and even the prophetic word, all of which I so desperately needed.

Just five months prior to his going on to glory, he called me out of the blue one day, and encouraged me to keep persevering through one of the most difficult phases of my life.

I feel his absence deeply, and was truly shocked and felt bewildered by his passing on, as he was more than just a mentor to me. Andrew was a father who loved, taught and guided me. I've mourned his loss dearly, and still miss him terribly.

Love you Andrew.
Santosh

To think of Andrew is to think of a beautiful spacious home in Malabar Hill, filled with books, love and laughter (also an occasional teaching/discipling moment from him). So many precious memories of days spent in their home as newlyweds visiting Mumbai. He introduced me to the Bible Dictionary and Bible Commentary and walked me through this method of studying God's Word. I'm truly grateful to him for this, because God's Word has never since been boring to me, ever.

Thank you Andrew.
Bhawna

I have so much to say about a man who accomplished so much in life, yet words don't do me justice. A loving husband, a great father, an awesome mentor, a community leader, a shining beacon for others to follow, and a man of God. I can only hope that he is looking at me from above and is proud of the man I become.

I regret all the times I have pushed away his guidance because I wanted to rebel for no reason, but I can now appreciate everything he's tried to teach me. I wholeheartedly try to apply all of the lessons that he's taught me and hope to one day live up to the person he was.

I give all thanks to the Lord that he put Uncle Andrew and Aunt Beulah in my way because, without them, I would be lost.

You are dearly missed, Uncle Andrew.

You're Heaven Sent!
We're so blessed from your life. Loved and respected forever

Uncle Andrew and Auntie Beulah had a great impact on me. I met them when I was 15 in 2013, they helped me with my studies and spirit. I will always cherish the memories I had with Uncle Andrew when he would break down complicated concepts in the Bible and explain them to me, and it definitely laid a foundation to who I am today.

I am forever grateful to Andrew Moses and Beulah Moses, and I pray for everyone.

I met Andrew at a very crucial juncture in my life. I was in Bombay for my higher studies and was desperately homesick. Being in a new city and new country caused lots of spiritual upheaval, and just about the time I was getting it right with God I met Andrew and Beulah. They lived just a stone's throw away from my dorm/hostel, and so it was convenient to drop in to their place for prayer, Bible study, meals or just to hang out. I truly appreciated their warm hospitality and welcoming nature because they were able to give that sense of home - and for someone who was away from his parents it meant a lot. I noticed that Andrew extended this welcome to many others, and really admired the way he gave his time to people who needed it. Today, as I look back to my years in Bombay I would think of Andrew as someone who helped make my stay enjoyable. Though he was older he was approachable and it was possible to have conversations on a wide range of topics. As a Bible Study teacher he had a gift of making it easy for us to understand complex theological points. As a family man, he set a good example of what a loving husband and an equally loving father should be... and he also demonstrated what a good friend really is. We both left Bombay and lived in different countries and yet the warmth and affection continued through the years... in a way am really glad that I was able to introduce my wife to both Andrew and Beulah when we last visited Bombay and they were in the city at the same time. I really appreciated the way we somehow found a way to meet even though they had a busy schedule. Friendship that stands the test of time... I suppose that's one thing I treasure the most about Andrew and am confident that one day he and I will meet in that Place where there are no tears.

I was truly blessed by God in having Andrew as a friend, mentor and guide. His cheerful spirit, Christlike humility and passion for enabling people to be the best they could be in God remain etched in my mind.

During my 30s it was Andrew's influence that set me on the path where God has brought me to the place where there are people who look to me as a leader, trainer, mentor and counsellor.

Beulah stood alongside Andrew as he mentored, guided, encouraged and occasionally corrected me. They stood by our family through challenging times.

During my early 30s I considered myself primarily gifted in the field of administration. As a YMCA volunteer I approached Andrew to be the facilitator at a soft skills training programme. He stunned me by suggesting that I faciltate the program along with him. He helped me face my fears, guided me on the topic I should take and how I should go about it. When he was the head of training with an MNC overseeing India and other countries, he was willing to have a novice as a co-facilitator alongside him.

He continued to mentor me as a trainer and one day we realised that some aspects of his training style had passed on to me. I still remember his skill in bringing out the points he wanted to communicate by asking questions rather than only adopting a lecturing style. He highlighted the importance of involving the participants in doing exercises during the training to enhance its impact.

Just last week I was assisting in a YMCA Training of Trainers workshop. I shared with the participants how God used Andrew to enlarge my vision of what He could do through me. I challenged them to allow God to do the same in their lives and the group responded positively.

Andrew may no longer be with us but the seed God has sown through him in so many lives across the world over the years will continue to bear fruit.

I thank God for Andrew's life and pray that God will comfort Beulah and the entire family as they come to terms with this temporary parting.

My first memory of Andrew and Beulah goes back to 1982-83. He was an excellent Bible Teacher. Neelam and I learnt much for him and he was a good Table Tennis player. When I attempted to do my CA he helped me a job with Raja Singh. I very quickly gave trying to do CA and soon started working for the church we were part off. He was our Growth Team leader where we had some wonderful times of fellowship. Since we come from Madras, South India we used to conduct meetings in a slum in Vakhola amongst the poor folk in Tamil. Later in 1988 he helped me get a job with Zandu Pharmaceuticals as a Sales Officer. He had a tremendous heart to help people of all ages.
We will always have fond memories of him.

  As it says in Ps.112 , a righteous man will be remembered forever.My earliest memories of Andrew was when I was around 8 years old.Young ,dashing Andrew and his mom would drop us while returning from church.I would eagerly listen to the conversations between Andrew and my dad, as I sat along with them in the front seat with Andrew at the wheel passionately discussing about truths from God's word as he was the youth leader and led the bible studies.
   Andrew had the knack of breaking down complicated concepts to bite size portions. He taught me Math and Beulah taught me Physics from grade 8 to grade10 and with their coaching I faired very well.Later my career took off because of the confidence they instilled in me and I am forever grateful. Our families shared a special bond and we spent many precious times together ,even a visit to Kodaikanal which my parents never forgot.
   Andrew was kind and compassionate .This underlying quality manifested itself in the way he reached out to help those in need, be it a brother struggling with an addiction ,needing physical ,emotional ,financial support or someone needing a listening ear or some counselling, Andrew was always available inspite of his busy and tight schedule.
   My family was blessed to have known both Andrew and Beulah.When my dad and mom were ill ,on their flying trips to Mumbai ,they visited us and brought them vitamins and some medical supplies.Constantly reaching out to others has been their lifestyle and I have been inspired and have learnt a lot from them.
  Andrew and Beulah invited my husband and me to stay with them for a week in HongKong after I just got married.We will never forget how Andrew went out of his way to show us around and Beulah too made us feel so loved and comfortable. I treasure the rich memories of dear Andrew and miss his presence.It seems our loss is heaven's gain.Hope to see you my dear friend on the other shore.In the meantime I continue to run the race like Andrew ,till the Lord would say "Well done"

I knew Andrew Anna and Beulah akka when I was studying at IIT Powai, Mumbai. I used to visit their home in the weekends and they both helped me tremendously to cope with the stress of studying away from home. They also helped in my walk with the Lord by recommending the right church to attend after my born again experience.Their love for the Lord and service to God s people and Kingdom is most inspiring for me. Annan you will be missed much.

Andrew and his wife Beulah are the two kindest and most generous people we have ever known. Heaven is richer and the world poorer for his passing from this world. They are the kind of people you can call at midnight when you don’t know what else to do and they will answer and be there for you. We will miss the meals and laughter shared and the joyful discussions that always followed. Our grief when we found out of his passing was almost more than we could bear and I am crying even now thinking about it. We miss you dearly Andrew and we will see you again one day. Your life is a testament to the glory and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you and your family.- Brendan & Onyeka Jones

I still remember the first time I met Andrew for a job at HSBC. One feeling that I walked away with was 'what a perfect gentleman'. In all the years that I have known Andrew, this has stayed with me. 
A man of ardent faith, kind hearted, principled and very caring, I have known him to be a good friend, mentor, guide. I will never forget his response the time when he shared that his daughter had colored her hair in dismay only to realize that I loved it. A wonderful father and husband, I pray his family finds their peace knowing that he lived a good life and is beside the lord watching over them just as he watched over them in this world. God bless, may his soul rest in eternal peace.

Wing and I would like to send our heartfelt deepest condolences to the Moses family. We are deeply saddened to hear this news a couple of months ago and we are grieving too. Our thoughts and prayers are with Belulah and family. Andrew was an incredible person and he had wonderful qualities that God gave him. Not only was he a great husband, father of two beautiful daughters, mentor and a pastor. Andrew reached out to so many people and he had a profound impact on us. He had special qualities like integrity, kindness and intellectual.

Andrew and Belulah were such a godly couple we looked up to. They were definitely great mentors. I remembered the United Marriage Encounter we attended, both always had the heart of gold for God. I feel so blessed by their teaching. My husband Wing had many occasions to listen, learn and grow on Andrew’s teaching and more. We will greatly miss him. We thank you Lord for bringing Andrew and Belulah into our lives. God bless you all in this difficult time. May God comfort and give you strength. Do get in touch with us when you are ready.

With Much Love,
Mayling and Wing Chan ( Hong Kong)

We will always remember you dear friend, Andrew, as you will live on in our memories.

Samuel and I greatly miss you as you had been such a wonderful brother in Christ to us - full of godly wisdom to share and impart, cared for those needy at different seasons in life, always believed that we could do better and be better at life and, you exemplified all that in your personal walk with our Lord Jesus and everyone you were with.

You and Beulah were such a godly couple; faithful, gentle and loving. Thank you for being such great mentors to us and leaving a memorable legacy in our lives.

God bless the Moses family and may God of comfort give you all His peace. 

May you dwell in the House of our Lord Jesus forever, dear brother Andrew. 

Blessings, Samuel and Alice Wong ( Hong Kong)

I am Narender Gupta, ex-staff of ANZ Grindlays Bank. Andrew was a very nice and gentle person. A very knowledgeable, soft spoken yet strict trainer of the Bank.
Andrew, you will always live in our memories. Rest in peace.

I am from ANZ Grindlays Bank. Really very sad to hear the news. Andrew was an integral part of the bank as he was in training and touched the hearts of almost all of us in the Bank. He was such a nice gentleman and a wonderful trainer. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Krishnan

I had the privilege of being taught by Andrew in early 80s when he used to be a trainer on credit courses at Grindlays in Bombay. He was an excellent tutor and we all learnt a lot from him. We kept talking about him off and on over the years even when he had left Grindlays. May this thorough gentleman’s soul rest in peace. Heartfelt condolences to the family.

I had the privilege of working with Andrew on a project for the education of undergraduates at George Fox. He was so thoughtful and welcoming of ideas to solve a problem, rather than to push an agenda. I will miss him.

Uncle Andrew and aunty Beulah were few of the first families who welcomed us into their home when we came to Hong Kong 17 years ago. We were just a newly married couple navigating our way through life and expecting a baby soon.
 
When we were in Hong Kong, Andrew and Beulah were part of the United Marriage Encounter ministry. They shared their story of what it means to build strong marriages. This process was quite helpful during those initial years of our marriage, especially in communicating and building trust. Me (Vivian) was pregnant at that time, and at the end of these three days events, on the last day on our way home, our son Royce was born. Appreciate all your encouragement and support during those early days, with home, hospital visits, food, and coming alongside our family in every small and little way.

It was also a great joy and pleasure to be part of the Shubh Samachar fellowship during those early years. It was great to serve alongside Andrew and Beulah by sharing God’s Word, leading worship, leading Sunday school, etc. Those years were a real blessing of working with Indian people living in Hong Kong. The most memorable one was the evangelistic event hosted by Shubh Samachar by bringing Johnny Lever from India. It was indeed one of the highlights of Andrew’s leadership. His zeal, passion, and charm were a driving force to serve the Lord enthusiastically.

Apart from the formal ministry at Church and Shubh Samachar, Andrew invested lots of time equipping people to serve the Lord. They did this through mentoring, discipling, pastoral service, etc. 

Words are not enough to express the pain we go through at a time when a loved one leaves us. Indeed Pastor Andrew was a wonderful person who always invested in the lives of people. We will always cherish the times we spent here in HK with Uncle Andrew, who has been a mentor to our family. We have much to learn from uncle and how His life made an impact to serve the Lord with fervor.

Dear aunty Beulah, Sarah, Rebecca, and your families, we stand with you in this difficult time. Sending prayers and hugs. May the Holy Spirit comfort us in this most difficult hour.

A great hearty condolences to Andrew Samuel Moses. Me and my family’s prayers will always be with you. May his soul rest in peace.

What does it really mean to love your neighbours as yourself? All Christians are supposed to live by this motto, but if we are serious, whom among us dare say we do. I dare not. Scott Peck says life is difficult. It is. Precisely, who has the spare time, and energy, and strength to love their neighbours as themselves? Not to mention so many of our neighbours are, honestly, not worth it. Had I not met Andrew, there is no answer to my above skepticism. Andrew gave an answer to that doubt, with his life example. He had compassion and helped my situation, not because we were close friends. We were not close friends. But he cared. And he was so positive, had so much faith in God even people let him down again and again. Andrew just would not give up a person, carrying with him a loving hope that may be, just may, he could help salvage my situation. It didn't work out. My ex-husband left an alcoholic. But that is not important any more. What is truly important, to me, is that throughout the 10-year struggle, when many people, church leaders included, shunned my situation, Andrew would not give up. I will never forget. One time, my ex agreed to meet with Andrew for counseling in the evening after Andrew's workday. It was a long day. It was raining. Andrew waited for my ex on the street. There was no show. Andrew was not mad. He didn't give up, and helped some more after that incident. THAT experience with Andrew breaks the myth, for me, that the church is just a place where people come to feel good. No. May be not many, probably not, but some, exemplified by Andrew, do genuinely care and are prepared to love their neighbours as themselves. Thank you, Andrew. Thank you, God, for Andrew. Go home, Andrew, and rest in peace.  Hallelujah you are home!  I will miss you in a loving and grateful way, till we meet again. 

I so appreciated all that Andrew brought to George Fox University. His love of God, family, and community was evident in everything he said and did, a great man of integrity. Andrew's wisdom and humility was evident. He had so much to share, and always did so with grace. I will really miss our conversations on business, faith, and what it means to live well.

Dearest Sis Beulah and the family,

Our deepest heartfelt condolence, although no words can ease the loss of our late Pastor Andrew, but we know he is in a better place with Jesus. Pastor Andrew is the person whom we honor and respect, who brings light so great to the world. We loved his sermons
that we had learned much from him. It's such a blessings that the Lord has a way to keep those we love with us. Eventhough, he is with the Lord, all love, memories and the light of him remains a part of who he was forever, believing that God's promises are true and faithful. You can be confident that some day, you will be together once again.

May God's perfect peace and comfort be with you n family at this time with joy of the Lord be your strength.

With deepest sympathy,
Nancy n Johny

Andrew Moses was someone very dear to me, and a true man of the Lord. He had been there for me during one of the most difficult times of my life, and encouraged me to stand firm in the Lord even when going against my unbelieving family. It meant so much the way he listened and counseled me throughout, and personally it meant so much to me that he actually could understand what I was actually dealing with. I thank him greatly for how much he meant to me and my family, and I will miss him terribly. I take comfort in that he is at peace with the Lord now, and one day will see him again.

Andrew came to us at Geroge Fox as a professor. His gentle spirit, great wisdom, and wealth of experience were appreciated by our undergraduate and graduate students. Andrew was a joy to work with, always having a smile and an encouraging word. We are grateful to have known him and to partner with him in Christian business education. He is deeply missed by students and faculty alike.

Deeply saddened and shattered by the passing away of Pastor Andrew Moses....I've personally been so blessed by Andrew and Beulahs ministry in Hong Kong....blessed by all the precious teaching given by Andrew in the Hong Kong Indian Shubh Samachar Fellowship.....blessed by Beulahs amazing Bible studies....may God heal and bless Beulah and her family.

Andrew and Beulah came into my life when my husband was very ill, they were caring and were a source of great support during that time especially after my husband passed away in December 2000. I am forever grateful for the impact they had on my life and were such an encouragement as a couple. I was also involved in the Shindi fellowship where Andrew pastored and taught for many years and especially led many to Christ young people as well. Andrew and Beulah sacrificial love for many was amazing to witness. It was such a privilege to know Andrew and he will be missed much. Truly appreciate everything he was and he will be missed by many. One day we all will meet in heaven in our eternal home.

Our HomeGroup leader and spiritual mentor, Andrew. Francis and I always looked forward to our weekly HomeGroup where the Lord's presence was felt and we'd be fed. Thank you for molding us those years, showing your care for our son, Steven, and supporting us in difficult times. You were a role model of the good Samaritan and a good family man! No words can express enough our gratitude to you! That gratitude stays in our hearts forever!

Our warm thoughts to Beulah and family! May the Lord comfort you, guide and protect you with His love!

LOVE ENDURES FOREVER!

Francis, Hazel & Steven

It's really cruel that fate has snatched Andrew from all of us so early...for someone like Andrew anytime is too early...While we can not challenge His mysterious ways, I only can thank Him for giving me a great mentor and good friend in Andrew. Memories cascade as do wistful smiles and moistened eyes. Dear Andrew wherever you are must be a good place for no other reason than you are there...

Andrew was a dear friend to our family. When my dad was sick, he was always there for us. I remember Andrew’s kindness and humility, and also his God-given sense of humor. There was always laughter whenever he was present.
I remember our trip to Israel together, where he re-dedicated me in Jordan River, and the pastoral messages he shared during the trip. I knew he must have given so much thought in each message because each sheep mattered so much to him. I also remember how he insisted to complete the hike in Egypt despite having some discomfort in his knee, and the look of blessedness on his face when he got to the top of the mount. Each time when I saw Andrew, I always heard him say: “Praise the Lord”.
Thank you, Andrew, for being such a kind friend to our family. You are deeply missed.

So saddened by Ps Andrew’s passing away within a short time of sickness. He will be greatly missed by many of us who knew him since HK days.

Personally, it was such a joy to have partnered with Ps Andrew & Beulah in ministry to the Sindhis/Indians of Hong Kong for more than a decade.
Also, I had been very blessed by Ps Andrew’s teachings. He was indeed a very gifted & anointed teacher of the Word, with a heart ready to help people.

I had also emigrated to the US soon after them, yet never got the chance to meet in person. But thank God our faith & hope in Christ guarantees an eternity together.

May the Lord heal Beulah & the girls as they mourn on this temporary separation.

Pastor Beulah, Sarah, and Rebekah,
we grieve with you right now, but we believe that this is only temporary separation.

Pastor Andrew is now with our Lord Jesus in Heaven, and he will be always in our heart and memories. We will see him again when we reach heaven.

Arick and I had a privilege to meet such a humble, friendly, caring, and sincere like Pastor Andrew. He had a big heart for people around him and he spoke with wisdom. We were deeply blessed by his leadership and caring during Lohas Park Home group.

Thank you for bringing us closer to Jesus, Pastor Andrew.

We love you,
Juliana, Arick, Tim

Dear Beulah,

Please accept my deepest condolences on Andrew:s passing.
Andrew gave me my job in Hong Kong many years ago and I have the greatest respect and regard for him. I remember how he taught me to play squash and would travel weekends for many months to my far flung suburb in HK just to play a game of squash with me. I will forever appreciate his generosity of time and spirit.
He was always willing to listen and pass on his wisdom to others and was a kind and intelligent man.
I pray that the good Lord grant him eternal rest and comfort you and your family in this time of grief.

Kind regards

Ralph

Dear Beulah,

I always think that you two would live to very, very, very old age like 100+ and grow deeper and deeper in God's love and blessings every day. And so, I was shocked tremendously when I received the message from Joanna. 

Whenever I was in the bible study at your Central and Jordan home, every session is a fruitful, happy and blessed time to me. I miss them a lot.

I do give big thanks to our Father Lord for giving me such good pastor and wonderful sister in God.

At this difficult time, Jesus is holding you tight and giving you comfort. You and your family is in my prayer.

With hugs,
Helen

From the first time I met you and Beulah, I saw hearts that pant after God, kind hearted and willing to help.
I attended the Freedom Small Group of Mannahouse church you and Beulah hosted in your home, Feb 2020, which quickly went virtual. The sessions were enriching and impactful.
Thank you for giving my resume to your former Provost. Shortly afterwards, there was a  professor need in another university and I was hired after series of interviews. God used Andrew, by this act of kindness to preserve my life.
We don’t understand it all... God is Sovereign. Rest on, in the bossom of our Lord.
My heart goes out to Beulah and family.
He will be sorely missed.

Dear Beulah, Sarah and Rebekah

The HSBC group chats are full of glowing tributes to Andrew the trainer and professional and even more to Andrew the person, intelligent, kind, understanding, sensitive and deeply religious. For me personally, it meant a lot that he really wanted me to join Training Department and later, after 2 years, when a cross posting opportunity came up for Dubai Training Centre, he was the one who persuaded me to take it up (early and mid 90s). For various reasons I was not really keen on it but his intelligent mind was quick to highlight the benefits for me and that made me consider and finally take up the opportunity which was one of the best decisions of my life and one of the best personal and professional experiences! Again after my promotion he offered me a new role in RGT and I was ever so grateful to be back in familiar territory and in Bombay. I now realise what a big role he played in my life in HSBC. Those were some of the best years of my HSBC life!

Just last June I happened to get his number from another colleague and exchanged a few messages with Andrew. We were both delighted to suddenly be in touch again, alas shortlived! 

I pray his soul finds eternal peace and God grants you and the rest of your family the strength to overcome these difficult times with the beautiful memories you will have.

Sincere prayers and best wishes

Kashmera

Dear Beulah and family

We mourn with you for the passing of Andrew. There are no words we can say that will comfort you right now. Andrew has made such an impact to our lives.  He was one of the greatest teachers I have ever known and I will never forget how Pam and I enjoyed all his sermons in Church.  As a friend you and Andrew were always with us when we went through difficult times when my late father was battling cancer.  We will also never forget how Andrew teased our little dog, Oscar!  Those were all very precious memories that we will carry till we meet him again in heaven. 
Love, Pam and Wilkie

Dear Beulah and family
It is with deep sadness to hear of Andrew's passing. We miss you dearly and will keep you in our prayers and thoughts. Many fond memories flashed through our minds. We pray for God's comfort and strength to be with you through the years ahead. Big hugs to you.

Dearest Pastor Andrew,

Thank you for living a life of what a true follower of Jesus Christ looks like. Your genuine care for people, your meekness and humility in spite of your depth of knowledge and understanding, your diligence in pursuing the word of God, a man of integrity and a gifted teacher. You have made a profound impact on my life. You are my most beloved pastor, and you will be greatly missed.

Love Janet Yang

Dear Beulah, Sarah, Rebekah - we mourn with you the loss of your and our beloved Andrew - our heartfelt condolences to you. He had the twinkling love of God in his eyes and his heart, and he shared it actively, with intellect, passion, commitment, zest, integrity, humo(u)r. He was a warm friend and pillar in our community at ICA, UME and so many other spheres he was engaged in. As these pages show, he left a trail of warmth, respect and love behind him, generally pointing to Jesus rather than himself. He also showed grace when he felt wronged, not wishing to harm the body of Christ by dissension. Well done, good and faithful servant!

He leaves behind him big shoes and a big hole, for you more than anyone. But as we know, the name of the website is misconceived: the good news is that we will just miss him for a short time, and then be reunited forever. (But ‘temporarilymissed.com’ would not sound right either!). Praise the Lord!
With love,
Steve and Pam Birkett

Dear Uncle Andrew,

Isaiah 57:1-2
The righteous man perishes, and no one lays it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one understands.For the righteous man is taken away from the calamity;2 he enters into peace; they rest in their beds who walk in their uprightness.

I really miss you but have hope will meet you on the day of resurrection.I first met you in 2005 through Alpha ,how you guided me and Anthony to accept Lord Jesus . I will cherish all your time and counsel for Anthony and me in every way and every time we needed you there was someone like father to talk to that today we can grow strong and build our relationship in the Lord. And also Noel can grow as a young man to love and serve the Lord through all your guidance and help for him. My prayer for Beulah,Sarah and Rebecca may the holy spirit fill the void in your heart and give you the peace that word cannot give . Love

Ptr. Andrew is the epitome of a life well lived before man and his creator. He lived a life with strong convictions. He stood and fought for what he knows is right, even at his own expense. We from One faith Worship Centre HK will truly miss him. A man with deep care and generosity. He is and has been such a big blessing and encouragement to us. May God’s peace and comfort always be upon his family and loved ones.

Oral Paul Guevarra

Thank you for your years of faithfulness and kindness to God's people and dedication to His church. We love you and may you RIP with your heavenly Father.

Beulah, it was a terrible shock to get this message that Andrew, a smart and sharp banker, a loving husband, father, grand father Pastor a lay leader went to be with the Lord so suddenly. James and I have such great regards for him and what he stood for. His leadership in ICA and then starting and pastoring the Indian church all goes to show that he was passionate to make our Lord known to more and more people. We will miss Andrew greatly. Praying for you and your daughters and their families for peace. May the Lord comfort you all.
Love and regards, James and Latika Paul

Dear Beulah and family,

I send you my deepest condolences and prayers for you and the family and may the comfort and the shalom peace of the Lord be with you all during this time of loss. We take comfort that Pastor Andrew is in a much better place now with no pain and suffering in the glorious presence of our Lord and received his reward as a good and faithful servant of the Lord while here on earth.

Pastor Andrew was a very friendly and kind man with a big heart, and has a great Shepherd's heart. I remember I invited Pastor Andrew over the years as a guest speaker for the YAH ministry when i was leading it at ICA or in homegroup meetings and he never once declined my invitations. I always remember that he would always be willing to sacrificially give of his time for the sake of serving and ministering to others- A great leader who was always approachable, a very knowledgeable yet humble servant of God and an annointed preacher and speaker in church on Sundays- I was blessed and inspired by his teachings over the years when he was serving at ICAHK. , and I really respected and appreciated him a lot. He will be greatly missed!

Dearest Pastor Andrew,

I could never address you another way. You are my most respected and loved pastor, leader mentor, and truly a caring friend to me. You’ve been a great blessing to many and I am blessed to be one of them. You have always demonstrated the love of Christ, always caring, always encouraging, and kind to me. Always took time to check on me and my children, prayed for us.
Under your leadership at Marketplace Ministry, I had a lot of fond memories but also learned a great deal from you on servanthood.

I remembered in 2016, I needed to give a talk on the subject of “Body of Christ” at The Walk to Emmaus. At one point, I was struggling with my scripts, you offered your time to help, walking through lines bylines, pages by pages with me. Your insight and knowledge of God’s words made my speech more impactful and relevant. Through the process, you have shown me a perfect example of what “Body of Christ” truly means, for that, I am forever grateful.

I find comfort knowing that you are rested in the loving arm of our Lord. You will be dearly and greatly missed.

Dear Beulah, may the love and comfort of the Lord be with you. Be assured you are in my prayer always.

Love, Patsy Cheung

Dear Beulah and family,

We remember Andrew's energy mixed with godly wisdom and your joint warmth, vision, and initiative. It is a sorrow and joy to know he has gone to be with the Lord and not with you, so we are praying for you all in the process of missing him; asking that you are daily comforted by the Lord's near presence and assurance of eternal life through faith in Christ Jesus. 

In His love,
