About

Who's who

Rev Andy Bookless  - Minister and Trustee

Andy was born in India, where his parents were missionaries, and moved to the UK when he was 9.

He worked in the Church in Wales (Anglican) for over 30 years, before sensing towards the end of 2021 that God was calling him to move in a new direction.

Andy believes strongly in a Bible-based and Spirit-led approach to Christian ministry. He has a passion to see people in the community experience God’s saving and healing love and believes that mission should be central to church life. Andy is part of the leadership team for the South-West region of New Wine Cymru.

Andy is married to Helen, with two adult sons. He loves birdwatching and Pembrokeshire’s wonderful countryside and is an unashamed Sheffield Wednesday fan

 I’ve lived in Milford Haven for the last 17 years. I became a born-again believer and follower of Jesus 20 years ago, and it’s my hearts desire to know Him more and to see others come to know Him too, and to see the Body of Christ alive, equipped and glorifying God. I’ve got 2 children, 9 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. I’m semi-retired and I work part-time in a day nursery in Haverfordwest. In my free time I enjoy reading, walking the coast path and collecting sea-glass.

Lucinda Johnstone - Chair of Trustees

I have known and loved the Lord since becoming a Christian at the age of 16.

Past careers were in fashion, education, and a local council. Through the ups and downs of life, including a long-term illness, Father God has been my strength, hope and healing.

In the churches where I have worshipped, I have been a small group leader, children’s worker, and healing team member. I love God’s word and His Holy Spirit. I firmly believe in the power of prayer and that God desires to heal and to bless. 

God brought me to Milford Haven and the church led by Rev. Andy Bookless three years ago.  It is an honour to be one of the trustees for the Church of the Living Hope. 

You may also find me at the reception desk of a local vet or out walking with my lovely black Labrador.
