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.”
