ACWA Council

Throughout Trevor’s life, he has had the privilege of serving in a range of senior leadership roles and of running a highly successful business. His ministry roles include Senior Pastor, Associate Pastor, and Executive Pastor. He has also served as a denominational director, CEO of Southland Missions, and Psychosocial Recovery Coach, further broadening his leadership experience within the organisational community.

His commitment to organisational health and effective governance is demonstrated by his service on eight boards. Among these, he has served as Chairman on three boards and as Secretary on five. These roles have enabled him to guide and support key decision-making across diverse contexts.

Trevor is passionate about building healthy, thriving organisational communities. As a dedicated minister of God’s Word, he is committed to teaching, training, and equipping others for ministry. This passion has led him to help develop leadership teams and establish ministries in Australia and overseas, contributing to the growth and strength of the wider body.

I look forward to partnering with AC’s leadership team to fulfil God’s plan for our organisation and make an impact in the political sphere across our state and nation.

He is married with two children and is a devoted follower of Jesus Christ.  He became involved with the Australian Christians Party because he was concerned by the lack of leadership, integrity and accountability in the Australian political system.  He passionately believes that humility and the wisdom of God is necessary to make truly good decisions that serve the people well and that lay the foundations for a better tomorrow for our families and the generations to come.

This experience marked a turning point in her faith journey and life direction.

Over ten years ago, Rachel felt God place a mission on her heart to pray for Australia.  Since then, she has been committed to regular intercessory prayer alongside fellow worship team members, faithfully standing in the gap for the spiritual and moral future of the nation.

Madeleine is an educator by profession with 40 years of  teaching experience. Her special interests are languages, culture, history, society, and the wise application of Christian principles to all areas of life, including politics.

As a first generation migrant (from France in 1970), Madeleine is grateful for the many opportunities Australia has given her own family.  She wishes that all families thrive in our amazing country.
She holds that while governments have an important role to play, in a democracy, all citizens have the privilege and duty to shape their nation.  Madeleine has been involved in the development of the Australian Christians Party since its early beginnings and has stood as an AC candidate in several WA state elections.  

In her current AC role,  Madeleine aims to inspire voters in every district to engage prayerfully, actively, and with discernment in the shaping of our nation.  Proverbs 14: 34 "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people."

Geoff lives on Perth’s north-eastern fringe, where he and his wife raised four now-adult children and continue a long-running voluntary neighbourhood outreach.  A former truck driver, farmhand and footballer, Geoff became an ordained minister after studying at Baptist Theological College WA (now Morling) and Murdoch University, earning a Bachelor of Theology (Hons) with education units and a Graduate Diploma of Theology.

He pastored at South Perth and Craigie Baptist churches before serving more than two decades with OAC Ministries WA (including as Branch and National Director), and as a camp speaker with Scripture Union WA.  He now serves at Worldview Australia as a director and the Biblical Foundations Coordinator.

His passion is helping people, especially teenagers, “think and live from a biblical worldview” in every area of life.  “Listen to Jesus and do what he says.”  He draws on prayer, biblical wisdom, experience, history and science to speak truth at camps, churches, schools and community events, and also writes on worldviews in public discourse.

Geoff chose to serve on the Council of the Australian Christians Party in Western Australia because the party openly grounds its decisions in Australia’s Judeo-Christian heritage and the wisdom of Scripture, as intended by the Fathers of Australian Federation.  He sees AC as a clear voice in the public square for life, family, freedom and faith — values Geoff has spent decades teaching and living out.

Neil is semi-retired from a 45-year career as a commercial lawyer practising in London, Sydney and Perth, during which he advised companies on major transactions principally, though not exclusively, in the resources sector.

Prior to studying law Neil was engaged for several years in mineral exploration in Australia and South Africa and during that time travelled widely in Africa, South East Asia, and North and South America.

During his legal career Neil sat on the boards of a number of publicly-listed companies as well as not-for-profit organisations.  Currently, he is a trustee of Mannkal Economic Education Foundation (a free market think-tank), a director of Alliance Française de Perth, and chairman of FamilyVoice Australia, a national Christian ministry dedicated to the promotion of family, faith and freedom.

He has been married to Jasmin for 47 years and has three sons and two granddaughters.

Neil is a parishioner at St Ninian and St Chad, the principal parish in WA of The Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross. He has been a long standing member of Australian Christians Party for more than 20 years and has stood as an AC candidate in State Elections for both the Legislative Council and the Legislative Assembly.  He was drawn to and supports AC as the only political party in WA unapologetically promoting Christian and socially conservative values in the public square.

Allan Mpora is a father of two and a leadership and organisational performance advisor with more than 20 years of experience across banking, business and leadership.  He has held senior leadership roles with some of Australia’s major financial institutions and today, through Mpora Business Consultancy, works with leaders and organisations to build stronger leadership, healthier cultures and sustainable performance.

Allan holds postgraduate qualifications in Business Psychology from the University of Western Australia and has a particular passion for people, leadership and helping others realise their potential.

His Christian faith is an important part of who he is and shapes his approach to family, leadership and service.  Allan became involved with Australian Christians because he believes Christians have an important role to play in public life, bringing the hope and love of Christ into our communities and helping ensure Christian values continue to have a voice in shaping Australia.  He is passionate about seeing faith lived beyond the walls of the church and making a meaningful difference in the lives of everyday Australians.

Away from work, Allan loves music and sport.  He is teaching himself to play the ukulele, although he admits there is still plenty of room for improvement.  He will happily chase almost any ball, but rugby and basketball are the favourites, and his support for the All Blacks is non negotiable.

As a member of the WA Council, Allan hopes to bring his experience in leadership, strategy and organisational development while continuing to listen, learn and serve alongside others committed to making a positive difference in Western Australia.
