Mat Wilson joined IMC in January 2007 after six years of service with BMS in Albania, establishing a church plant and building local church leadership. Mat is the Mission Trainer at IMC with a particular teaching responsibility for Christian doctrine; Islam; leadership and development practice. Mat is married to Hannah and they have three children. He is a lifelong Aston Villa supporter and his favourite food is curry, which makes Birmingham a perfect place to live.
Naomi Sharp joined BMS bringing experience from two terms of service in Cambodia with OMF International where, among other things, she taught music and led the OMF language and orientation programme. She co-ordinates all of the mission training programmes at IMC and teaches all sorts of things but her main teaching responsibility at present is for the Missionary Life and Work course. Naomi professes to have no interest in football… but Mat and Alan are working on that.
Alan Pain has been the director of IMC from its outset in January 2000. In his previous experience as a Baptist minister he held pastorates in Northamptonshire and Sutton Coldfield. He and Lyn have been married since 1967, and they have three children and six grandchildren. He is known to talk about football occasionally but athletics represents his main sporting interest. Alan oversees the daily life of IMC, with various biblical classes, missiology, and ethics as his main teaching concerns.
