Steve & Vanessa Weickhardt

Serving with BCA sincce February 2023

Steve & Vanessa Weickhardt returned to BCA in 2023 to work in the role of Mallee Missioner. The Mallee Mission involves visiting ministry through the parishes of Sunraysia South (APOSS), Central Mallee Parish (with the UCA), and part of the Northern Mallee Parish. Steve & Vanessa have two adult daughters, one elderly dog, and moved from Port Lincoln, South Australia to take up this role.

The town of Red Cliffs (Sunraysia South) is located at the northern end of Victoria’s Mallee. This area is characterised by a Mediterranean climate of dry summers and mild winters. The town of Ouyen (Central Mallee) is a dry-land farming town in the heart of the Victorian Mallee. It is well known for growing wheat and barley as well as producing prime mallee lamb.

The Weickhardt's Prayer Points for April 2024
Pray for the Lord to continue to raise up new leaders within our congregations, add to our number, promote generosity and build hospitality. Pray for the new 2024 ministry team at APOSS (Red Cliffs) as we navigate this shape of leadership.

The Weickhardt's Prayer Points for May 2024
On Pentecost (19 May) the Central Mallee Cooperative Parish celebrates 30 years of Anglican-Uniting cooperation. Praise God for BCA support to keep this vibrant ministry alive and serving faithfully.
