Mission Profile

Malcolm & Leanne Reid

Serving with BCA since January 2026

Malcolm is the Coordinator of the StartWell program, a new BCA initiative designed to help new Field Staff adjust to their roles: building resilience, cultivating cultural adaptability, strengthening ministry skills and deeply connecting them to the BCA family.

Malcom and Leanne served with BCA as Field Staff from 1998–-2001 in Port Hedland and Newman. They most recently spent 10 years with CMS in Vietnam. Malcolm brings a wealth of experience, knowledge and skills to the role.

About the StartWell Program
Larrakia Country

Our Field Staff, who go the distance to serve in rural, regional, and remote Australia, face various challenges – challenges that are often unique to rural ministry. This is especially true in the first few years of service in the bush, as Field Staff often make huge adjustments from city living to rural life; from a multi-staffed church to sometimes a one-person ministry team. It has been our desire to build a program that addresses these challenges, drawing on BCA’s long history and experience, tailoring it to different contexts, and providing a comprehensive program that supports our Field Staff to start well in their ministry, family life, and personal wellbeing.

Pray for Malcolm, Leanne and the StartWell Program

June
Thank God for the new Field Staff who have started this year and pray that He would renew their physical, emotional, and spiritual strength, especially when ministry seems repetitive, slow, or lacking progress.
