"...act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God." - Micah 6:8
The Micah Project is a non-profit organization in Tegucigalpa that currently supports 27 young men. These courageous guys, all of whom spent anguished childhoods on the streets and in impoverished homes, are now learning to become Christian leaders through discipleship, formal education, and opportunities to serve others in need. When you meet these special men and learn about what they have accomplished through the Micah Project, you will be blessed by the way God has moved in their lives and the lives of the many people they have touched. The Leadership House, a home to Micah House graduates, readies them for college preparatory work and training to be servant leaders in their community. Michael hosts numerous short-term mission teams each year and he and the Micah boys minister extensively throughout the community.
