Friend of the Micah Challenge,

This is a new list of the students, professors, and young people who do justice, are passionate about kindness, and walk humbly with God. Some of you signed the Micah Call, others of you visited Micahmorphosis, and others we encountered through campus visits or events. Welcome!

New Developments

Websites

  • Micah Challenge’s international website got quite the facelift. Check it Out
  • Halve-it!. Halve-it A new global justice and MDG resource library.Upload your own resources or check out others.
  • Micah Challenge US launches very own website
  • MicahMorphosis, a Youth led website of the Micah Challenge is undergoing changes. We believe there is a void among the social networks on the interweb. So to fill that void we are in the process of creating a Social ‘Justice’ Networking tool that allows student groups, conferences, clubs, and individuals to have their own unique section that they control. This new section would include blogs, photos, events calendars, and whatever else you like. If you see the potential that we see and are interested in helping develop this tool email Jason Fileta.
