Welcome to The Micah Project! Our mission is to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ as a means to reconciliation, justice, and mercy.
“And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8, NIV). The Micah Project has three areas of emphasis: Technical Empowerment- We help build the capacity of organizations whose missions demonstrate a Biblical worldview. We apply knowledge and experience gained over more than 60 years of combined service to the nonprofit sector. Our focus is in addressing developmental needs involving financial management, board governance, legal compliance, and special event planning. Learn more . . . Evangelistic & social justice empowerment - We support activities that proclaim the life transforming power of the Christian gospel, including the sponsorship of speakers, evangelistic events, and the creation of published materials that support this objective. Financial empowerment - We make grants, contributions, and below-market loans to help seed activities that proclaim the gospel. Grants and loans are accompanied by consultative support where appropriate.

There's rarely a dull moment at The Micah Project. By serving in leadership, advisory, and educational roles to various ministry organizations, along with continuing promotion of Man from Macedonia, The Micah Project continued its support of Christian evangelism and social justice.
Child Evangelism Fellowship was busy last year, with a new goal to reach 100 million children per year by 2032. We are honored to work alongside the wonderful, committed staff and Board members to reach this goal. The Micah Project provided pro bono technical and governance related assistance to public charities and individuals regarding financial management, compliance, and organizational development, and authored articles and updates in these areas. Debbie traveled to Greece on a "Steps of Paul Tour," and while there met with Stefanos and Magda Botonis, the Child Evangelism Fellowship national directors for Greece. They serve in a hard place where Greek Orthodoxy is the official religion, and 90% of the people identify themselves as Greek Orthodox. The church seldom partners with other evangelical groups. ![]() Allisha and Niah Merrill, tour hosts; Magna Botonis, Gail Coleman, Debbie, and Stephanos Botonis
