The Country Ministry of Paul & Caroline Mulroney

Paul & Caroline have a heart for country ministry, with family ties to the Great Southern region of WA. Paul was born in Queensland, but his family moved to his mother's home town of Pingelly, where he attended Narrogin SHS until he attended University. Caroline was born in Narrogin, and lived in Cuballing until she attended University. They have been married 30 years, and have two adult children.

They have actively served in the churches that they have attended, and are currently worshiping at C3 Stand in Langford. Their pastors are Elton and Lisa Whittle. They serve on the worship/multimedia teams, and are on the pastoral care team for the church. For many years they were part of Lamp Lighter Ministries, a counselling organisation based in Belmont that provided prayer counselling services. Through LLM they were able to present the Motivational Gifts seminar (a teaching based on Romans 12) to a number of churches throughout Perth, as well as Wagin, Newdegate and Kalgoorlie Uniting churches.

They have been part of a number of "Church Together" type services in Wagin, and have taken services in Boyup Brook Uniting, Kalgoorlie Uniting, Kendenup Community Church, Merredin Uniting, Newdegate Uniting, Northcliffe Community Church, South Bunbury Church of Christ, Wagin Vineyard Church, and York Uniting — with a visit to Quairading Uniting planned later this year. Closer to home, they have also taken services at Yangebup Baptist, East Perth Uniting, and Grace City Church Osborne Park.

Paul and Caroline were moved to action after an incident in Merredin, where they recognised the shortage of people willing to help country communities. Their plan was to visit a town and run a secular version of the Motivational Gifts seminar as a tool for business management, then on the weekend work with church leadership on the spiritual principles behind the gifts — presenting the full seminar before concluding with a worship service together.

Since beginning Bold Light, Paul & Caroline have steadily increased how many trips they take to minister to country congregations — from two trips a year to three churches early on, to averaging one trip a month today. In the last four years, teams from C3 Stand in Langford have joined them to learn and serve alongside them.

This is in addition to their involvement with the Perth Emmaus Community. Beyond Perth, they were actively involved in the Great Southern Emmaus community until the decision was made to formally disband it. They also created and host the Emmaus Australia prayer vigil site: vigil.emmaus.org.au, made available to any Emmaus community that opts in.
