Hi! I’m Richard and I’m excited to have joined OM in the UK as CEO in October 2025.

I am from Poole on the South coast, but grew up on the OM's ship Doulos (Brazil, Mexico, Caribbean), where I developed a deep passion for justice, international outreach, and a lasting sense that life with Jesus was an incredible adventure.

Over the years, I have served as a church pastor, was co-owner with Richmond Travel, served as CEO with Urban Saints, and more recently, I lead at two Christian Retreat and Conference Centres. I also co-lead the Disciple-Making Project a mission to put disciple-making at the heart of Christian Youth work.

My leadership journey reflects a love for adventure, mission in the neediest places, and a clear call to grow disciple-making communities.

When not working, I can often be found hiking up a mountain, reading very old books, sailing any boat that comes along and enjoying Arsenal with friends.

If you’d like to support the work that I and other OM workers do, you can give a financial gift using the form below. And beyond your financial donations, your prayers for the work being done around the world are essential. I am grateful for your prayers and continued support!
