Paul & Cathy Sampson

Josiah Elsley

Born in Broken Hill and raised in Gunnedah, Paul Sampson became a Christian in his early twenties. Since commencing in full-time ministry, he has worked as a Rector of two Sydney Anglican parishes and as a Bible teacher to pastors in cities and regional towns in Africa. He commenced as BCA’s NSW/ACT Regional Officer in January 2022. “Having grown up in the bush and worked cross-culturally, I have some insights into the challenges faced by those ministering in remote and regional areas,” says Paul. “BCA is strategically positioned to have an incredible impact for Christ.”

The New South Wales/ACT Regional Office is located in Sydney. The region incorporates five dioceses; Sydney, Canberra & Goulburn, Newcastle, Bathurst and the Riverina. With over 440 parishes and a population of over seven million, the region has incredible ministry opportunities, and challenges.

The NSW/ACT team's Prayer Points for October 2024

Praise God that the AEF Family Camp provides the opportunity for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to come together in fellowship. Ask that the Lord used this gathering to build up many people in their knowledge, love and service of Jesus.

The NSW/ACT team's Prayer Points for November 2024

Pray the Lord will continue to raise up the next generation of people to serve in the rural, regional and remote parts of Australia. May the Lord bless the planning of regional missions occurring in December.
