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.

The Micah Project partners with Child Evangelism Fellowship to Reach Children with The Good News of the Gospel

Dennis and Debbie are now serving on the Leadership Committee of CEF of the Greater Greensboro Area.  The signature program of CEF is the Good News Club, held anyplace where children safely gather.  The most common location for a Good News Club is in the public school, after school hours. 

CEFGGA currently coordinates six After School Good News Clubs in Guilford and Rockingham (NC) counties.  Good News Clubs are sponsored by local churches who provide volunteers and resources to hold Good News Clubs in the schools in their communities. 

The goal of CEFGGA is to have a Good News Club in every elementary school in our two county service area.  That's 82 schools total - 67 in Guilford county and 15 in Rockingham.  We currently have three in each county

We need 76 churches to adopt a local school, and host an After School Good News Club so that children who do not attend church, may have the opportunity to hear and respond to the Good News of the Gospel. 

CEF also offers other programs, including 5-Day Clubs in the summer, and Christian Youth in Action (CYIA) summer missionary opportunities for youth 12 and older.
