BerryBunch Advisory Group
Much like the great Elrond – the legendary King of the Elves created as a character in the well known books by J R R Tolkien - the BerryBunch is far bigger than just one family in the UK: we have supporters literally all around the world, including the UK, USA, Italy, Finland, Tibet, and more!
And, to ensure we keep walking towards Jesus in what we're doing we meet ion a group, we have pulled some amazing people together - nicknamed the Council of Elrond. - to ensure we have both righteous accountability and spiritual support.
This council meets at least once a quarter by video, and as often as needed – to ensure the BerryBunch stays righteously focused on our primary mission – making Bible based, family friendly material that can be used For Free, For All.
As a group of people we walk together, talk together, pray together and mutually support one another – to ensure that the BerryBunch Ministry continues to honour Jesus Christ through all that is produced.
Who makes up The BerryBunch Advisory Group?
We love to see how God has taken our humble efforts as a family to inspiring and equipping people all around the world. Ministering to people globally – through the BerryBunch or, more recently – is not something we ever envisaged we’d be doing when we asked God to teach us faith. And that is precisely why a life with Jesus Christ is so exciting – because the future is unknown to us, and yet when we let God guide us, we can trust that our future is secure because God chooses to operate within the limits of time, and space – and use even us.

Andy B and Jo
Andy has driven oversized trucks, helped deliver breastfeeding workshops to mums to be, been filmed for Sky TV, organised and delivered a Christingle to nearly 800 people (not long after googling “what is a Christingle?”).
He can usually be found sat at a computer editing a video, or three, and started leading worship when he was ten years old. He especially loves helping young children and families meet with Jesus for themselves.
Jo was raised in a home that didn’t have Jesus and she actually chose to allow Jesus to be her Saviour when she was at University, and in France. She was baptised in a lake near Lyon and her testimony is simply AMAZING!
She is the passion and glue that holds the BerryBunch together – always believing in Andy, and the boys, and encouraging them to get ever closer to Jesus. Jo has been to some amazing places in her lifetime from Walsall to Devon, and Spain to the USA, and Tonga. But her favourite place is always wherever her family is!
