Our work is carried forward by trustees, leaders, staff and volunteers in two countries — bound by friendship, prayer, and a shared call to serve Maiwut.
The UK Board, chaired by the Bishop of Wolverhampton, provides strategic oversight, financial accountability, safeguarding and good governance.
We periodically recruit new UK trustees with skills, experience or networks that strengthen our work — finance, communications, fundraising, international development, theology and pastoral practice are all welcome.
Trustees serve on a voluntary basis, and reasonable expenses are reimbursed.
Volunteer Resource Persons
A small number of volunteer resource persons bring specialist skills to FOM — supporting trustees and staff in areas such as communications, finance, or theology.
Governance — South Sudan
The Management Board, chaired by the Bishop of Maiwut, is composed of South Sudanese church and community leaders who set local priorities, manage projects, and oversee the mission base.
The mission base in Maiwut is managed by an experienced base manager and supported by project leaders, administrative and caretaking staff.
