Jude & Andy Benton

Serving with BCA since April 2020

Jude & Andy Benton minister in the Cooperating Parish of Croajingolong in the Diocese of Gippsland. The parish includes St Peter’s Mallacoota and St John’s Cann River. The Parish was hit hard by the devastating Black Summer Bushfires, followed by COVID restrictions. Through those difficulties, many new opportunities for ministry have emerged, including a weekly Christian radio broadcast, and involvement in recovery and community projects.

BCA’s link with Croajingolong dates back to 1921, when our founder SJ Kirkby first travelled there by foot. In 1922, Cann River became just the third location that BCA supported in both church ministry and through nurses who served the surrounding area. St John’s Cann River was built in 1928 from funds donated by BCA Deaconess Edith Reece.

The Bentons Prayer Points for April 2024
We pray for all who attended Easter services in the parish, may they continue to reflect on the words they heard. May the seeds of faith germinate and grow in all who were present.
