Micah Global announces new Global Director
Micah Global is delighted to announce the appointment of Roshan Mendis as their new Global Director.
With over 20 years of experience as CEO of LEADS, a national child-focused humanitarian and development agency, five years as Regional Team Lead for Central and South Asia for BMS World Mission, six years of experience as Director at Asia Pacific Baptist Aid, and as Global Chair of the Global taskforce for COVID response with Baptist World Alliance, Roshan has successfully driven holistic mission and transformation initiatives, emphasizing strategic direction, advocacy, safeguarding, partnership and collaboration to empower vulnerable communities.
Micah Global Board Chair Commissioner Christine MacMillan welcomes Roshan as the incoming Global Director: “I value Roshan’s expertise, lived experiences and faith journey which engages with credibility, teachability and a vulnerability as the Lord’s servant and our mission partner. I am grateful he has accepted the challenge and opportunities in facilitating our member-led and engaging network.”
Roshan is no stranger to Micah, having journeyed since the early days in Oxford in 2001, engaging in global advocacy around the Millenium Development Goals and Sustainable Development Goals, and serving within Micah Asia as well as the Micah Board.
He shares, “Micah has profoundly shaped my understanding of integral mission throughout my ministry. I have witnessed the unique power of this network to bring its members together in faithful action as the various expressions of the Church. I am deeply humbled to serve as Global Director in this next season. I trust we can prayerfully join as members to corporately seek where the Lord is leading us; strengthening our shared witness, deepening collaboration, and courageously stepping into new spaces of justice and compassion as a catalytic movement. I pray we can build upon the foundations laid over the years, while remaining rooted to the core calling and values that defines Micah as a catalytic movement for holistic transformation, walking together in hope.”
Roshan takes up the mantle of leadership handed over by Dr Deborah Hancox as of 1 March 2026.
