Mission Profile

David & Joanne Piper

Daniel (2010) Luke (2012) Matthew (2016)

Serving with BCA since January 2025

Those of you who have been BCA supporters for some time, will remember that the Piper family served with us in Lightning Ridge from 2013–2019. Since then, the family has served in Gunnedah in the Northwest Slopes Region of New South Wales.

While both David & Joanne grew up in Sydney, they really enjoy working in the bush and are keen to serve in remote locations because of the great need there.

We're excited to be here in Emerald and Blackwater; getting to know the congregations and the towns, and looking forward to working with them to sow the Good News and grow fruitful followers.




The Piper's Prayer Points for September 2025

Pray as people invite friends, family & Anglicans to our St. Luke's Day celebration (12 Oct) in Emerald, and that they will be warmly welcomed.

Pray that the saints will love to gather in Blackwater, and that we can meet more people through doorknocking and other community contacts.

The Piper's Prayer Points for October 2025

Give thanks for Joanne’s involvement in Religious Instruction. Pray for open hearts, helpful teachers, and that arrangements can be made this school term for an increased presence in 2026.

The Piper's Prayer Points for November 2025

Pray for openness to making contact with the community through the church shop. Pray that our occasional ‘chat shack’ next door to the shop (Saturday mornings) connects well and points people to Christ.
