Mission Profile

Emily Quinn

Serving with BCA since January 2023

Emily is the Coordinator of the Foundation Studies Department at Nungalinya, a combined churches training college for Indigenous adults. She oversees the delivery of three ‘foundation’ courses: a pre-Certificate I, a Certificate I and a Certificate II course in English as an Additional Language or Dialect. Each course is delivered over a three-year period, in four-week intensives, with a focus on literacy, numeracy and the Scriptures.

Nungalinya College is a combined churches training college for Indigenous Australians. The College trains men and women for leadership roles in churches and communities by exploring the Bible and Christian faith contextually. Students are trained to understand and participate healthily in community life while strengthening and celebrating Indigenous identity. Approximately 95 per cent of the student intake is from remote communities across the NT, WA, Qld, and down into SA.


Emily's Points for March 2025

Classes at Nungalinya have begun. Give thanks for the students attending these first blocks of study, and pray that all will be well with their families back in community.

Emily's Points for April 2025

Pray for the Easter celebrations that will take place in communities; that the churches will be salt and light to those around them.

Emily's Points for May 2025

College will be almost at capacity in May – pray for all the classes, the visiting groups, the Katherine Christian Convention and the general busyness of College life!
