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 December 2025

Pray for college staff as the year concludes and Christmas approaches. Many will travel south to be with family – pray for safety, refreshment, and meaningful time together, and for joy in celebrating Christ’s birth.

Emily's Points for January 2026

As monsoon rains arrive and roads are cut off, pray for people in remote communities to be safe and well supported.

Pray for God’s presence in the quiet season, bringing rest, renewal, and opportunities for fellowship.

Emily's Points for February 2026

Pray for staff and students as the college year begins. Ask God to bless the preparations, professional development, and teaching ahead, so that the year starts with energy, unity, and purpose in Christ.
