Laurie & Bec Carleton

Olivia (2013) Claudia (2015) Harry (2017)

Serving with BCA since January 2022

Laurie & Bec Carleton, together with their children Olivia, Claudia and Harry serve at the Church of England on Norfolk Island. The Island has a rich Christian history but the Carletons pray that God will use their ministry, and that of the Christians there, to grow his kingdom. BCA provides pastoral care and prayer support for the family.

Located about 1400 kms off the coast of Australia, Norfolk Island is an external territory of Australia located between New Zealand and New Caledonia. At the 2021 Census the Island has about 2200 permanent residents, evenly split between Norfolk Islanders, Australians and New Zealanders.

The Carleton's Prayer Points for September 2025

Give thanks to God for the opportunity to hold our Spring Fair last week. Please pray that this will allow us to build relationships within the community and that it would create awareness of God’s work on Norfolk Island.

The Carleton's Prayer Points for October 2025

Please pray for the outreach we are running this month. Ask that God would use these events to grow His kingdom on Norfolk Island.

The Carleton's Prayer Points for November 2025

Give thanks to God for the events this month in which we can share the Good News of Jesus. Please pray for our Thanksgiving Service and 150th anniversary celebrations of the St Barnabas Chapel foundation; may these bring glory to God’s name.
