26 Handing Over the Archives We say Thankyou to Clem Kirkby

Have you hitched a ride in a chariot lately?

I was recently reflecting on the encounter between Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch in

Acts 8:26-40. Read it and you’ll notice how Philip chooses not to stand at a distance. He is

personally committed to meeting this man on his turf, listening carefully to his questions

and leading him to their answers in Jesus. The result? A new disciple of Christ who went

on his way full of joy.

At BCA we have always recognised that selecting, sending and supporting people with

a head for the gospel and a heart for people is a key to effective mission. You will find this

theme of partnership through personal contact highlighted through this edition, not least

in the exciting news of appointments to Coober Pedy, Kangaroo Island and Adelong and

Tarcutta.

A further aspect of partnership is working together with other Christian organisations

who share our desire to make Christ known. I am delighted to report that we are working

with the Bible Society to publicise their ‘Live Light in 25 words’ campaign throughout the

bush. You can read more about this initiative on pages 22 and 23.

Finally, can I encourage you to continue your generous support of BCA’s ministry. Our

giving has dropped a little in the first half of 2012 and it would be great to reverse the

trend in the second half of the year so we can continue to expand our witness for Christ.

An Encounter with BCA

BCA’s presence has impacted the lives of

many people in rural and remote parts of

Australia and Brian Fyffe counts himself

as one of them.

Brian and his family were living in

Leonora WA when

BCA sent Les

Gaulton to minister

at Leinster, some

140km north of

Leonora. Brian

recalls how Les

would come down

each fortnight to

conduct a service

for his family in their home. “That in itself

was impressive, because we were basically

the only Anglicans living in Leonora.”

After a few years, the mining company

that Brian worked for transferred him to

Laverton, 125km east of Leonora. Despite it

almost doubling his trip, Les travelled the

extra distance each fortnight and continued

to visit them and take a church service in

either the Fyffe’s lounge room or whatever

meeting place was available in the town.

Brian even remembers meeting a few times

in an old hospital operating theatre.

Les laughs at the memory of his trip

doubling but says he was very happy to do

the extra kilometres. “I was motivated by

the knowledge that BCA would go wherever

one person was.”

Throughout this time, Les preached

through John’s gospel and Paul’s letter to

the Romans. Brian was very impressed not

only by Les’ persistence and willingness to

set aside time to visit them, even though

it was often just their family and even

when they moved twice the distance away,

but also by the quality of Les’ teachings.

“All through this time, I was impressed by

Les’ faithful Bible

teaching and how

he showed us that

the whole of the

Bible made sense

together. I knew

from when I was

a young teenager

who Jesus was and

what He’d done for

me on the cross, but Les challenged me to

think about the Lordship of Jesus. It also

got me wondering what I was doing with

my life and whether managing gold mining

operations was the important thing for me

to do.”

Les recalls a time when he was talking

with Brian and his wife, Annie, over dinner

and Brian mentioned the difficulties in

mining and the possibility of leaving. “I

asked him what he was considering doing

and he said, ‘I’m thinking of going into

ministry.’ Brian had been on the local

council and I thought he meant public

office ministry. I didn’t twig that they were

saying ‘next stop theological college’, but

that’s what they did.”

Brian remarks that it was Les who later

encouraged them to consider ministry in

the North West and that is exactly what

they did. Brian is now the minister at St

George’s Anglican Church in Carnarvon WA.

Looking back over his relationship

with Brian and Annie, Les has been able

to see how God has impacted their lives

and is humbled that he could be a part

of it. “Brian and Annie have been doing

a great job in Carnarvon. They are such a

lovely, genuine couple. They’ve come a long

way since I first met them. It’s absolutely

fantastic what God’s done. It’s not my

doing, I just had the privilege of being part

of it.” •

BCA announces three new appointments

Geoff and Tracey Piggott

Coober Pedy SA

Geoff and Tracey Piggott have

supported the work of the Society for the

past 16 years as they ministered at their

previous church, Camden Haven Anglican

in Laurieton NSW. After a chat with Ian

McGrath, Qld/Nth NSW Regional Officer,

they felt encouraged to consider serving

with the Society.

Geoff reflects that “Coober Pedy seemed

a really good match for who we are and we

had heard numbers of reports about the

faithful congregation.” Geoff and Tracey are

excited at the variety of possible ministries

Coober Pedy offers - to the church, the

surrounding community, the tourists,

the miners and people living on isolated

stations.

“We want to encourage the keen

congregation and work together to get the

message of Jesus out to the community and

tourists. We would like to represent Jesus

well through all we do and say; be good

listeners and good neighbours and teach

God’s Word faithfully.”

As well as the many ministry

opportunities, Geoff and Tracey are looking

forward to some of what Coober Pedy has

to offer such as the Drive In theatre for

Tracey and driving a 4WD and winch for

Geoff.

Geoff and Tracey were inducted on 30th

July at the Catacomb Church in Coober

Pedy.

Brad and Joh Henley

Kangaroo Island SA

Brad and Joh Henley have always been

aware of the Society and have been actively

supporting its work for the past few years.

Last year, they experienced a God-

incidence when after praying for God’s

guidance for their lives, their friend Sam

(the son of Vivien Bleby, SA/NT Regional

Officer) mentioned the vacancy on

Kangaroo Island. Brad describes their

response: “We started looking into it after

that and then we coincidentally (or God-

incidentally) had a holiday on Kangaroo

Island, loved the place and thought ‘Wow,

we could possibly work there!’”

Reflecting on the first time they visited

the parish centres with their two young

daughters, Jemima and Ella, after having

been appointed as BCA Field Staff, Brad

says “Everyone was very warm, encouraging

and friendly. We are keen to get to know

them, their story and see how we can

connect with what God’s already doing.”

Brad and Joh are also aware of the

natural networks they will have with other

families in the community and are keen

to make the most of those connections.

“We are praying that we can use and work

through those natural connections that

happen and share Jesus naturally and in a

friendly way with the people of Kangaroo

Island.”

Brad and Joh, together with Jemima and

Ella, began serving on Kangaroo Island after

their induction on 3rd August.

Keith and Cynthia Groundwater

Affiliates in Adelong and Tarcutta NSW

Keith and Cynthia Groundwater came

to Christ as adults and have ministered in

Canberra and rural New South Wales.

They have been appointed as BCA

Affiliates to serve in the Parishes of Adelong

and Tarcutta. Speaking about the Parishes

in which they will be serving, Cynthia says

“Both Parishes have been without Rectors

for some time. However, in each Parish

parishioners have faithfully kept ministry

alive with additional assistance at Sunday

services.”

Over the next two years, they will

work with Christians in both locations to

discern a longer term model for ministry

and mission. BCA will support them

through prayer, pastoral care and personal

mentoring by our Strategic Mission

Consultant, Royce Thompson.

Keith and Cynthia are delighted that

God has been at work in their ‘retirement’

to open up a new opportunity for ministry.

Their Commencement of Ministry service

was held on 5th August. •

Many faithful BCA workers and supporters have been praying for God to raise up the

right people to fill the vacancies and He has answered those prayers for Coober Pedy

and Kangaroo Island as well as providing a new ministry opportunity in Adelong and

Tarcutta in the Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn.

Please pray for our new Field Staff as

they leave their families or extended

families behind to serve God where He

wants them. The Society is delighted to

welcome them all into the BCA family.


Bringing the good news by foot Tracks of GraceIn Romans 10, Paul expressed his desire

for everyone to hear the good news of

salvation through Jesus. He quoted Isaiah

to declare, “How beautiful are the feet of

those who bring good news!”

Perhaps taking this verse literally, Cameron Noakes from St George North Anglican Church in Sydney decided to combine his love of running with his passion to see God’s word faithfully

taught and spread throughout Australia. Together with some friends and for the second year ‘running’, Cameron participated in a 27km run through the Sydney Royal National Park to raise money for the Society and its ministries. In particular the money this year will go towards Dale Barclay’s Bible in the Bush conference in Red Cliffs, the Watsons in Kununurra and the youth group at Wickham.

Cameron says, “The gospel is for all people and BCA are very much involved in taking the gospel throughout Australia.

The other runners and I have been very encouraged by the support we’ve received as we have sought to partner with BCA.”

After last year’s success in raising over $2500, Cameron was looking forward to this year’s run on 23rd June, despite the uncertain weather in the lead up. Although the track was muddy, the day itself proved to be perfect for running with clear blue skies and cool

temperatures. The mud didn’t end up being too much of a hindrance and the runners ploughed right through it towards the finish line. Cameron states that, “The real killer was the final five kilometres, which included the biggest hill of the run. By this stage, you’re usually

battling cramps too, but it’s all worth that feeling of accomplishment when finishing the run and knowing that you have pushed yourself to the limits.”

Despite the many challenges the terrain threw at them, the six runners for BCA persevered and the two who had run it last year even finished with new personal best times. Cameron is pleased with how well the run went and the money raised so far and believes that this run has enabled BCA to be more prominent in the minds of those who contributed. •

So God changes lives? Really?

Sam* was having a quiet smoke in

the yard. Tom*, aged 8, came out and sat

beside him. “Dad, can we go to church?”

Sam nearly choked on his cigarette. “What?

What do you want to do that for?” Tom had

heard about God at school and was curious.

They never talked about God in their

household – except as a swear word. Tom

persisted. “Please Dad; just once. We need

to know about God.”

Sam coughed and said, “Ask your

mother.” “I have” said Tom, “She said to ask

you.”

Sam swore and ground out his cigarette.

“OK. OK. Stop bothering me. I’ll find out.”

Next Sunday Sam, with Tom and his

younger brother Steve* turned up to the

church door. An ordinary Sunday; no frills.

I’m not even sure that we had someone

on welcoming duty. Sam tells the story

afterwards. “I just walked through that door

and I was different. ... I met God. He just did

it. He changed me. Guys at work noticed (I

was always the one to be avoided and gave

everyone a rough time). Me wife noticed.

Me kids noticed. ... I noticed! I looked at

myself in the mirror and saw myself as I

really was for the first time. I quit smokin’

on the spot. God found me; God changed

me; it’s awesome!”

Sam told the story again at his

confirmation service. He’s faced the

hard work of confession and repentance,

forgiveness and reconciliation in his family.

He’s rediscovered family relationships in

the extended family and has gone on long

journeys to bridge long term breaches of

care and trust not of his own making. God

is working daily in and through him. We

rejoice and praise God through our tears. •Mary Lewis

The Lanhams, now on SaleHello to all the wonderful BCA supporters,

from Julie, the boys and me. It’s been a

very full and intense six months for us in

a good way. Once again we are sure that

we are where the Lord wants us to be, and

dependent on His leading for our direction.

Leaving Gilgandra was a very difficult

decision. The Father gave us a very strong

love for the young people of Gilgandra and

we had invested ourselves so deeply into

the community. However, the Lord was

raising up others to take our place and we

were reminded that it was God’s ministry,

not ours. We are so thankful to everyone in

Gilgandra who was a part of our journey.

We came into a community where faithful

people for a long time have been serving

the Lord, and we left knowing that it will

continue for a long time to come.

This brings us to the lovely town of

Sale. It has been a huge change for us on

many fronts. Sale is about 2.5 hours east of

Melbourne, so we are a lot closer to family

and this is great. There are around 13,000

people here and around 2,000 young people

aged between 14 and 24. We attend the

Cathedral church where I am the Assistant

Minister. My brief is young people and

families, so there is plenty of scope and I

also have a broader Diocesan role as the

Youth Development Officer. This enables me

to connect with and support parishes all

over the Diocese, to reach young people for

the Gospel. The boys have settled in well:

Jack is working locally for a gap year after

having made the big decision to come with

us; Jacob has started an apprenticeship as a

Jeweller which is a great blessing; and Elijah

is doing well in Year 9 at the local high

school. Jules has already connected with

local women and mums.

One of the great lessons I learned from

being in Gil’ was the need to be led by the

Lord. Waiting on the Lord and praying for

wisdom is vital for any ministry. Once again

this is the Lord’s work and He will do what

is right. We have been praying continually

that the Lord will open up the doors and

bring us into contact with the people we

are meant to meet and praise God, this

has been happening. The congregation of

the Cathedral are very keen to see young

people changed by a relationship with

Jesus. There is a wonderful sense of family

and community here and many faithful

members. Bringing Julie and me here, as

I understand, has been a wonderful faith

journey for the church and there is a real

feeling of great things to come. I feel so

blessed to be working with Don Saines, who

is the Dean. He is very encouraging of my

evangelistic gifts and intentions, praise God.

There has been a weekly youth group at

the church for a number of years, supported

by a small but very committed team. There

has always only been six to eight young

people who come consistently, however the

other week we had 34!

Jules and I have begun two bible study

groups, one for youth which I believe

will grow this term from its regular eight

members and one for young adults and

families. Last term, we regularly had 20 or

more around the table for tea. It is a time of

great fellowship and I praise God that Jules

is an awesome cook and loves this kind of

hospitality ministry. We have also begun

the Soul Café, a monthly outreach to young

adults with good coffee, good music and

good conversation.

We have been continually meeting new

people and building new friendships and we

know there are many opportunities to show

Jesus’ love in the community that we have

yet to engage. One example was when Jules

made dinner for a local café owner whose

child had broken their leg. They hadn’t

expected this sort of care and were so

appreciative. The wife even told Jules that

no-one has ever made her dinner before.

We serve a God of great love and mercy.

We must preach the Good News of Jesus

to people, but we must live it also, with joy,

perseverance, forgiveness and grace.

Thank you again for your prayers. •

Geoff Kneeshaw – the Can Man A year on in HayThere are many and varied ways to serve

the Lord, but one that doesn’t instantly

spring to mind is can-collecting.

Geoff Kneeshaw and his wife, Beryl,

have been strong supporters of BCA for

over 60 years. Geoff can recall the first

time he heard about the Society at

a deputation at his home church

of St Andrews San Souci NSW in

around 1945. “Since then, I’ve always

been interested in and served with

BCA. For over 50 years, I was the

BCA Secretary at St Andrews San

Souci until I moved to the Anglican

Retirement Village.”

Geoff says he is grateful to be

associated with BCA. “It’s a wonderful

organisation that covers a big area

and its people are dedicated. I know

some people in the country who

are greatly appreciative [of BCA’s

ministries]. It’s a joy to be part of

this organisation. With God’s grace,

up until the day I die, I’ll still be

supporting BCA because it’s effective

and I know what it’s doing.”

One of the ways Geoff has been

supporting BCA over the past 15 years is

through cans. Now affectionately known

in his retirement village as ‘the can man’,

Geoff walks around collecting aluminium

cans, crushing them in his garage and then

selling them to a scrap metal merchant

across the road. The money he makes from

it, he donates to the Society.

Geoff’s hobby has even inspired others

to do the same. After seeing Geoff pick up

cans 15 years ago and hearing his reasons

why, Peter O’Brien from San Souci joined

in and has been collecting his own cans

for BCA ever since then. Geoff admits that

Peter may even collect more than him!

Speaking about his hobby, Geoff says,

“There are various things you can do to

serve the Lord and this is what I do. The

money is peanuts - it’s about 60 cents per

kilo and about 100 cans make up a kilo -

but I like the exercise and the money goes

to mission. It’s doing something for the

community but above all, it’s serving Jesus

Christ. That’s the prime purpose behind it.

Why put it in landfill when I can clean the

place up and give the money to BCA?” •

Peter and Lee travelled through many

inland areas of east and central Australia

after retiring in 2006.

We were introduced to the work of BCA

at Winton, Queensland. We became BCA

Nomads and spent some time at Winton

and at BCA House

in Broken Hill. We

really enjoyed our

time at both places,

particularly in

Winton as we got to

know many locals.

As we travelled,

we saw many

small towns where

churches had closed

and those with churches that remained

open often struggled on without a minister

resident in the town. We both gradually

saw that we could be useful to God if we

made a permanent move to a small town.

So we moved to Hay on 30th April 2011,

as Co-Workers, which means we have the

prayer and pastoral support of BCA. We

began by renting, and have recently moved

into our own house in Hay.

Our role at St Paul’s Church has been to

support the Licensed Lay Ministers as they

take the Morning Prayer Services (a visiting

priest takes a monthly communion service)

wherever asked. We are hoping to gradually

become more involved and take on some

leadership roles.

Special Religious Education is our main

weekly activity, we have two classes each at

Hay Primary School and we share a class at

Booligal (a one-teacher school 76 km north

of Hay). We have been well received in the

schools; we take the whole class and the

teacher stays in.

What do we like about Hay? The people

are friendly, we can walk to the shops (and

frequently stop for

a chat), and traffic

is much lighter and

less hectic than in

the city. The cost of

renting or buying

a house is much

lower. Our friends in

Sydney were mainly

family or church

people. The church

in Hay is very small (we average eleven

people each week and without an ordained

minister). One consequence is that we have

made lots of new friends and contacts

in the community. We are not locals (will

never be) but we have intentionally joined

several local groups, based on our interests.

Peter does some casual school teaching as

well.

We have moved here to serve God.

There are many churches like Hay or small

churches with a minister, which would be

greatly encouraged by the addition of a

mature-age Christian couple or a young

family into the parish. This could be a

great way to serve God, by using whatever

gifts He has given you in a small church

somewhere away from the large cities. •

God never ceases to Amaze!

When planning the Newman Men’s Camp

earlier in the year, I thought it would be

good to also offer an invitation to Philip

Knight and the men at Port Hedland as

we would be camping just up the road (in

Pilbara terms) from them. Philip suggested

we open it to all the parishes of the Pilbara,

which we did and Les Gaulton was also

able to join us. Martin Morgan, the National

Director of Church Army was our speaker

and introduced us to T4T, a tried and proven

evangelistic method with a strong emphasis

on the discipleship of new Christians.

So onto the amazing story of the camp,

the sovereignty of God and a man named

Stuart, who God went to enormous lengths

to show His love to….

At the age of 19, a young man cried

out to God to help him as he ran toward

the train station. He was on his way to

throw himself under a train. On arriving

at the station he did just that. Some

months later and physically whole, he

walked out of hospital. Decades later, on a

Friday afternoon, he arrives at the Rangers

residence at Cape Keraudren, and meets

Neil who is waiting for a lift to the campsite

where the men of the “Pilbara Men, Men’s

Camp” are camping. He offers to give Neil

a lift and they arrive much earlier than

everyone else. As they wait, he asks Neil if

he can join the camp. Neil says yes.

That evening everyone gets to meet

Stuart who realises that he is among a

group of Christian men he has never met

before, of whom at least five are evangelists,

on a camp where the theme is evangelism!

The next afternoon as he speaks with three

of the men, Alan Mower, Gary South and

Frank Nicol, it becomes obvious to Alan that

Stuart is not a Christian. So the three men

lead him to faith in Christ. On hearing about

his miraculous escape from death under the

train, Gary says to Stuart, “You are twice

saved.”

During the Communion service the next

morning, Stuart claims the promises made

at his Baptism as his own. We pray giving

thanks to God for having saved Stuart

physically and eternally, that the Holy Spirit

would open his mind to the Scriptures, that

they may dwell richly in him and produce

fruit thirty, sixty, a hundredfold. At the end

of the service, Frank presents Stuart with

the Bible he was given at his ordination,

and my lasting memory will be that of

seeing Stuart completely engrossed in

reading it. He’d opened it at Genesis 1:1.

I don’t think anyone who joined us on

the Men’s Camp ever considered how God

could/would use it to answer the decade’s

old cry of a young man, for whom to live

was to suffer. But as I would find out a

day later, a faithful and seasoned saint had

emailed my wife Amanda a few days before

saying, “I was praying this morning that

there would be an outpouring of the Holy

Spirit on the Men’s Weekend resulting in a

lot of men giving their lives to Jesus.” She

had been praying all weekend for exactly

that. Blown away? You had better believe

it. Not so much because of answered

prayer or the faithfulness and goodness of

God. I think it was that we were all taken

completely by surprise, and perhaps we

were found wanting in our understanding

of God’s sovereignty. Without any word

or insight concerning what He was about

to do, God placed a complete stranger

among us that he might be saved. With

five evangelists, and a weekend of teaching

and study about evangelism, you could say

Stuart was divinely set-up!

Yet, there was no coincidence attached

to any of this. It was just too well scripted

for it to be anything other than the work

of the Holy Spirit, witnessing to and

revealing Jesus to Stuart through willing

and obedient men who love God. Stuart is

making his way back home to NSW and as

you can imagine, planning for the camp

next year has already commenced. •

Nomads at NungalinyaBCA Nomads make a home at Nungalinya

As part of their travels, BCA Nomads

Pat and Jenny Kennedy spent a week at

Nungalinya College in Darwin repairing

facilities to allow other Nomads to stay.

They cleaned and painted caravan bathroom

facilities that had fallen into disrepair.

Property Manager, Neil Black said it was

fantastic to have the facilities ready for

more caravans to be able to visit. “Pat and

Jenny were so keen to get things ready for

other visitors, they wouldn’t leave without

making sure the floor was painted. The

facilities now provide a great resource for

volunteers coming to work at the College.”

Pat and Jenny enjoyed their time at the

College and said, “We felt really welcomed

by Neil and staff at the College.”

Nungalinya College, located in Darwin,

provides Christ-focused training for

Aboriginal Christians in the Top End and

throughout Australia. Students come to

learn literacy in English through the Bible,

as well as study theology. They go on to be

pastors and leaders in Aboriginal Churches.

Most of the buildings on the campus

need major renovation to meet Council

requirements, so handymen and women,

cleaners and painters are most welcome!

The Kennedys urged fellow Nomads to

make Darwin a stop on any planned trip as

the facilities are now fantastic.

“Van owners can now park in a cool spot

under trees and they have their own power

supply, private toilet, shower block, laundry,

washing machine and dryer,” explained Pat.

“It is better than any caravan park!”

Dr Jude Long, Principal of Nungalinya,

said “We could not possibly achieve the

certification of our buildings without

the help of volunteers. We have been

quoted $1,000,000 to get the work done

“Having these facilities available for

BCA Nomads means that we can provide a

comfortable place for volunteers to camp

with their vans,” she says. “It is a great

April was a committed Christian who

was full of life and fun. She was born in

Broken Hill. Her family home, Allison House,

was to become a Hostel for children from

surrounding areas who would come to

Broken Hill for education. April served on

the Allison House Managing Committee

until the time of her death.

She was a regular member of Holy

Trinity Anglican Church, Menindee, NSW,

which is now incorporated into the

Anglican Parish of Broken Hill and the

Far West. April had a deep respect for the

work of The Bush Church Aid Society and

particularly its commitment to provide

Anglican Ministry to people in remote parts

of Australia.

April and her husband David ran

Wirryilka Station for many years and

experienced first-hand the difficulties of

having their children educated.

April died in 2003 after a long and

courageous battle with cancer. Before her

death, she expressed a desire to set up

a fund to assist families from the West

Darling Parish region with the education

of their children, especially where they

needed to leave the region to achieve their

educational potential.

The 2012 recipient, Hayley Lawrence,

from Kara Station in far north western

NSW, has commenced her Bachelor of

Nursing at Flinders University in Adelaide.

The Scholarship has eased the burden of

university costs on her parents, who were

greatly affected by the drought.

Praise for the Past, Faith for the FutureCelebrating over 100 years of God at Work

in Lightning Ridge

Since the first Church of England service

in Lightning Ridge on 19th November 1912,

the church building has gone through

many changes, but God has been at work

throughout it all, fulfilling

His purposes through His

people.

During the time of the

church’s second building

– the first having been

torn down in 1933 after a

cyclone left it leaning more

than the Tower of Pisa –

our church saw an exciting

and very significant

change in the form of its

first full-time minister

in 1977. This meant that

regular services could be

held in the Ridge and there

was less dependence on

the itinerant ministers and

the rough road conditions

of those days.

Whilst it is helpful to

have a permanent church

building, it’s even more important to have

a permanent minister, because ministry has

never been all about the building, but about

the people. In the end the building is just

a glorified rain shelter – although in the

Ridge it’s more useful at keeping the hot

summer sun out!

Another major change came when the

current building was completed in 1998

and the congregation changed the church’s

name from St George’s to Lightning Ridge

Community Church with the hope that

it would make the church a much more

welcoming place for those concerned about

denominational barriers.

There is no doubt that

many people have come

and gone from our church

and we get our fair share of

tourists during the winter

months – sometimes even

outnumbering the locals!

To the credit of our people,

our church has often

been described as being

welcoming and friendly and

visitors are often surprised

to hear sound Bible

teaching out here on the

edge of the outback!

I really don’t know what

church was like in the

bygone years, but I do know

that for the last 35 years,

through BCA, God has been

wonderfully and generously

providing the means to

maintain a full time minister.

In the nearly 5 years we have been here,

BCA’s support – through financial support,

prayer, encouragement and the outreach

weeks with some of our partner churches,

we have been able to reach out to more

and more people with the good news of

Jesus. For the first time ever in the history

of Lightning Ridge we have been able

to employ the much needed work of an

Assistant Minister, David Piper, to undertake

the work of ministering to children, youth

and their families. Through all this, we have

been able to make more contact with the

community than we probably ever have had

before. God has indeed laid the foundation,

and we are called to faithfully build with

lasting materials.

Just as was written over 100 years ago,

whilst the population shows no tendency

of increasing and opals continue to

elude capture, ministry by God’s grace is

progressing famously!

Please come and join us as we remember

that God’s people remain even though

buildings may fall and celebrate 100 years

of God at work in Lightning Ridge: “Praising

God for the past, and having faith for the

future.”

A new kind of NomadIn mid-2010, my wife (Liz) and I started

thinking about what it would take to fulfil

one of our lifelong dreams…

We wondered whether we could pack

up our house in Sydney, buy a caravan and

embark on a huge adventure with our 3

young kids by travelling

around Australia! It’s

now mid-2012 and we’re

8 months into our ‘trip

of a lifetime’, having

covered 30,000km,

5 states of Australia

and worked at six BCA

parishes as BCA Nomads.

When we first started

thinking about this trip,

we wanted to ensure

that it wasn’t 100%

about ourselves – we

wanted to see if God

could use us as we

travelled the country,

and the BCA Nomads

scheme seemed to be

the perfect way to get

in contact with churches

where we might be able

to be of some assistance.

I am constantly amazed at how much

we have squeezed into the time we’ve been

travelling. We’ve seen so many amazing

places: like when we travelled alongside the

Murray River from Wodonga to Mildura,

or when we drove the spectacular Great

Ocean Road, or camped at beautiful ‘Cape

Le Grand’ and ‘Cape Range’, or marvelled

at the sheer size of Kalgoorlie’s Superpit –

just to scratch the surface on some of the

things we’ve seen. We’ve also met some

fantastic people along the way as we camp

with like-minded people and chat over

campfires and cups of tea. Yet, as we reflect

on our travels so far,

the people and places

that mean the most to

us, are the places where

we have embedded

ourselves into the

community (albeit for a

short time) when we’ve

worked with churches as

BCA Nomads. I’m not a

tradesman (my trade is

computers and IT) and

we also have 3 young

kids (Josh is 8, Natalie is

6 and Samuel is 4) so we

weren’t sure if we would

even fit the profile to

become BCA Nomads!

But after a few enquiries

we found out that it

doesn’t matter who you

are, or what skills you

have (or don’t have); if you have a heart to

serve God in His church around Australia,

then you have what it takes to be a BCA

Nomad. We have stopped at BCA churches

in Holbrook, Red Cliffs, Strathfieldsaye,

Wickham, Karratha and Kununurra and

God has had us doing all sorts of things

like: gardening, cleaning, working with

computers, Sunday School programming,

building sandpits and a myriad of other

things, all whilst we get to know the people

living in these areas and enjoy getting

to know them. God has richly blessed us

through these times, and we’ve been greatly

encouraged as we’ve seen faithful servants

across the country sharing Jesus’ love

within their communities.

We think we’re more than half way

through our trip; and we’ll probably be back

in Sydney, looking for work early in 2013.

We’re not sure what God has in store for

us for the next 4-6 months and beyond,

but we are confident that if the next few

months are even half as good as the last 8,

then we’ve got some pretty great things still

to come! If you’re interested in seeing more

of our adventure, then feel free to log onto

20 21SPRING 2012 THE REAL AUSTRALIAN

This October, BCA will be supporting a

Bible reading campaign entitled ‘Live Light

in 25 Words’, launched by Bible Society

Australia.

This campaign was initiated after a

survey run by Bible Society found that only

20 percent of Australian church-goers were

in the habit of reading their Bible daily, with

many saying they don’t have enough time

or are finding it hard to understand. ‘Live

Light in 25 Words’ aims to address these

reasons and provide resources to encourage

Australian Christians to turn to their Bible

each day.

In launching the campaign, Greg Clarke,

CEO of Bible Society said, “We live in an age

of SMS, Facebook and tweets of just 140

characters. So how can we bring [Christians]

back to a book of over 700,000 words? The

answer, of course, is in what God gives

us. It’s the Bible itself. The Bible has been

broken up into books, chapters and pithy

statements of around 25 words, which we

call verses.”

He added, “And, interestingly enough, a

verse or 25 words is roughly the number of

words that go into a tweet, a text message

or a social media update. And that is the

whole idea behind our campaign for 2012.”

“This Australia-wide campaign is an

invitation to Christians simply to make a

fresh start on their Bible reading habit with

just 25 words. It can grow from there. And

when they do, they’ll begin to experience

more of what Jesus promises — to lighten

the burdens we all carry,” said Greg.

Bible Society will provide a variety of

resources throughout October to encourage

Christians to open their Bible, such as

a 30 Day Bible Reading Plan, a set of

commentaries on one or two verses called

Conversation Starters, a series of recorded

sermons on the Bible by well-known

preachers and sets of devotions entitled

‘Read the Bible with…’ that are designed

to be like reading the Bible with a friend or

respected Christian mentor.

Chris Melville, Manager of Bible Society

Programs and Campaigns, is appreciative

of BCA’s support. “Bible Society’s ‘Live Light

in 25 Words’ campaign was created to help

churches encourage a daily Bible reading

habit with their congregations,” he said. “For

almost 200 years, Bible Society has strived

to serve and work in partnership with the

church and church based organisations. A

key to this campaign are our partners who

are serious about Bible reading such as

Bush Church Aid. Working in partnership

with BCA and other organisations, ‘Live

Light in 25 Words’, will be able to reach and

encourage far more Christians to create a

daily Bible reading habit.”

BCA will be supporting the campaign by

encouraging participation in the campaign

from our Field Staff and their churches, as

well as supporters. In addition, Mark Short

(BCA National Director) and Bruce Chapman

(BCA Field Staff in Nightcliff) will each be

providing a set of ‘Read the Bible with…’

devotions, which will be available on the

Bible Society website.

Mark is thrilled that BCA can partner

in such a worthwhile campaign. “At BCA,

we believe God’s word is absolutely central

to our mission of reaching ‘Australia for

Christ’,” he said. “That’s why we are so

excited to partner with the Bible Society

in encouraging Bible reading by Australian

Christians.”

24 SPRING 2012

What has been your previous involvement with BCA?

My parents were BCA supporters and my mother had

done some work at Cook Hospital, so we had BCA [money]

boxes and used to go to BCA rallies. In my teens, I was

involved in three BCA youth missions to Winton, Cook,

Tarcoola and Coober Pedy. I also worked with Les Furnance

(BCA Field Staff) at Lightning Ridge when I left school. It

was a terrific thing to do.

Then before I started studying at Moore College, I took a year to drive tourist buses

around Australia with John Cronshaw (Buspa, Christian Fellowship Tours). I actually paid

my way through Moore College by driving BCA Tours in the four years I was at college,

thanks to John’s beneficence and generosity.

I was also a member of the BCA Council and consulted on the NSW strategic plan.

This year, I was approached by Mark Short (BCA National Director) and Fred Chilton (BCA

National Chairman) who asked if I would be the BCA President and I said “Yes! If that is

the mind of the Annual General Meeting” and I was advised that that was the case.

What does it mean for you to be the BCA President?

It will include being involved at a governance level to ensure that all that’s done

continues to be in line with BCA’s founding and core principles. It will also be to offer

episcopal oversight and to give advice or share opinions when appropriate and be present

at the relevant meetings. And wherever possible, be an ambassador for BCA.

How will you be involved with BCA Field Staff, office staff and councillors?

I’m in regular contact with Mark Short (he was actually one of my priests in this

Diocese) and also Royce Thompson (BCA Strategic Mission Consultant), who is actively

involved here in the Diocese. I also have a number of BCA connections in the Diocese that

will continue: Helena Painting out in Yass, Glenn Seddon at Batemans Bay, James Coats

and his family down in Holbrook and just recently the Groundwaters in Adelong and

Tarcutta.

What can we be praying for you?

In this new role, pray that I’ll continue to be enthusiastically aware of what is taking

place within the Society and that any comments I make and any input that I give will

honour Christ and advance the mission of the Society. •

An Interview with BCA President and Bishop of Canberra and Goulburn, The Rt Revd Stuart Robinson

The new Councillors, from left.. Bill Anscombe, Katherine Sutton, Paul Robertson and Henry Shafing


In January 1992 my family and I arrived in

Newman in the Pilbara region of WA. At

the time I was a High School Teacher and I

had been promoted to Head of Department

at Newman Senior High School.

In Newman we began to attend St

Stephen’s Anglican Church and met

the Revd. Raymond and Mrs Betty-Lou

Molyneaux. Ray and Betty-Lou were

our first encounter with BCA Field Staff

having moved north from Perth. We were

welcomed and loved. Betty-Lou knew we

were coming through family connections

and friendships. Relationships grew, as did

our knowledge of BCA and the important

ministry it supported in North West

Australia and across Australia.

Ray’s ministry was profound. He opened

my eyes to God’s word as he preached

the gospel. I became a child of God as I

accepted what Christ had done for me and

ceased being a “God fearer” trying to earn

my place in the kingdom of heaven. As a

father, I committed myself to leading and

serving, my wife and children, as Christ had

loved his church.

After two years in Newman, I knew God

was moving us to Geraldton, but I didn’t

know why. I took up the position of Head

of Geography at the Geraldton Senior High

School. The school’s motto in those days

was “The Seeker Finds”. It was there that

God revealed the path He had for us - to

serve in ministry.

After studying at Moore College, we

began a new link with BCA when we were

accepted as Field Staff in late 1999. January

2000 saw us arrive back in the Pilbara

serving under the Revd Phillip Knife in

Karratha. We ministered there for two years.

We lived in Dampier and helped to care for

the community of Pannawonica.

We greatly appreciated the love and

prayers of the BCA family during our time

in Karratha. Visits by Canon Brian Roberts

and Regional Officers, as well as Nomads

and mission teams helped to break down

the isolation.

We were sad to move on from BCA in

2003 when Bishop Tony asked us to take

up ministry at Dongara Mingenew in the

Mid-West near Geraldton. After 4 ½ years

God called us into Perth in July 2006 to the

parish of Balcatta Hamersley. I was soon

invited to join the WA Regional Committee

for BCA and have served for 6 years. I have

also been elected as a member of BCA

National Council and Executive and have

served on them since 2007.

I am thankful to God for His work in

my life and in that of my family through

the ministry of BCA. I am glad to still be

a member of the BCA family 20 years on.

Kaye and I pray that God will continue to

help all who serve through BCA to claim

Australia for Christ. •

Revd Robert Healy

BCA Councillor

Councillors Column Handing over the ArchivesClem Kirkby – son of BCA founding

missioner, Bishop Sydney James Kirkby,

and BCA Honorary Archivist – has handed

over the BCA archives baton after almost a

quarter of a century of faithful service.

Clem, who was born three days before

the formation of BCA in 1919, recalls how he

took over managing the archives. Revd Canon

Brian Roberts, former BCA National Director

and BCA NSW State Secretary, had asked

Clem to categorise some old glass slides. Clem

remembers nosing around some boxes and

finding a sealed one with the

label Historical Records – Do

Not Destroy. Uncovering this

box triggered a realisation

in him that the archives

needed to be organised so

people could have access to

the information. Thus Clem

became the archivist and

Bishop David Mulready, the

then NSW State Secretary

who took over after Brian,

saw Clem’s role formalised

into a regular weekly visit.

“I didn’t ask to do this,” Clem says, “No one

asked me to do this, it just came to be. I think

God’s hand was over it.”

Mark Short, BCA National Director, thanked

Clem for all his work. “This is neither a farewell

nor a retirement occasion. We are all part of

the BCA family and one doesn’t retire from

a family. We give thanks and celebrate Clem,

who for more than 20 years has faithfully

built the BCA archives. Clem, you are part of

the BCA story. We join with you to express

our appreciation for your

wisdom, your encyclopaedic

knowledge and your gentle

Christ-like spirit.”

Fred Chilton, BCA

National Chairman, echoed

Mark’s comments on behalf

of the Council and all of

BCA. He also commented

how Clem kept coming up

with little gems in the Real

Australian and again mentioned his incredible

memory.

Clem says he has enjoyed his time as

archivist but is grateful to hand over the

archives to Brian Roberts. Clem even remarked

that he believes Brian has far more knowledge

and he couldn’t think of anyone better to take

on the task.

If you would like to join with BCA in

thanking Clem Kirkby for his work as Hon.

Archivist, we invite you to email your

appreciations to [email protected] •
