Sam currently serves churches and individuals in their support and practice of mission through the Church Missionary Society.

Sam spent the first 18 years of his life in Belfast Northern Ireland. He came to faith as a child at his local Presbyterian church. When he was 18 he came to Australia for the first time on a working holiday. It was during that time that Sam grew in his faith and in his understanding of who God is and what it means to follow him. Returning to Northern Ireland, he spent a year in Bible College before heading off to Japan to teach English for a year. That year became 12. During that time Sam taught English, planted a church, lead a Japanese black Gospel Choir and worked and lived with homeless people. It was there that Sam met and married Yoriko.

After Japan they moved to Melbourne where Sam studied at Bible College and worked as the pastor of The Melbourne Japanese Church at Canterbury Presbyterian and with CMS. After working for 2 years with a mission agency in the UK they moved back to Brisbane in 2009 to work with CMS QNNSW. His current position involves supporting and working with mission enquirers, coordinating short term mission trips and working closely with churches to support them in mission. He also lectures part time at QTC and is passionate about supporting churches in multi ethnic ministry.

Sam and Yoriko have 4 kids whose names mean Grace in 4 different languages.
