Marvin came to us in August of '05 and became apart of the Micah Project officially in May of '06. From the time Marvin was six he grew up in Zamorano, Honduras which is about an hour outside of Tegucigalpa. There he lived with his Father, stepmother, step- grandmother and their children until he was 14. Marvin's step- grandmother greatly influenced his life with the love and knowledge of Jesus. Once she died Marvin's home life became very abusive and he finally fled the situation when he was 14. He traveled to Tegucigalpa to see if his mother would take him in only to face more rejection. For the next two years Marvin jumped from home to home of generous people until he found us. Having exhausted all possibilities and being rejected from both his parents, Marvin found a place to call home. |

He writes many of the lyrics to the songs. You can check out their website and a few of their songs at www.myspace.com/losmicahboys. |
