Meet Our Board
The Psalm 82:3 Mission Board of Directors is the US front-line team dedicated to defending the weak and fatherless of Liberia. The Board of Directors consists of individuals that love Jesus and are intentionally invested in the vision of Psalm 82:3 Mission. Each month the board discusses and approves upcoming funding, special focuses, and next step goals, and brainstorms how to meet the growing needs of an international ministry both locally and globally. The members of the Board of Directors serve for 2-year terms with a maximum of 2 terms before taking at least a 1-year break from the board. While it is not a requirement to have traveled to Liberia to serve on the board it is recommended.
