| All aspects of day-to-day life
revolve around the group home. Here we live as a family; adults and
boys alike have daily responsibilities that keep the home running.
Our beautiful facility contains
four bedrooms, an office, a computer room, a large living room, a kitchen,
a dining room and an courtyard. With ample spaces to study, meet
and play, our home is also a place for worship and reflection. We
begin each morning before classes with a Bible study and prayer time, and
we close each day with a praise song around the dinner table. Often,
we meet with the boys in the evenings for a time of reflection, conflict-resolution
and sharing.
The Micah Project home has developed a
"personality" of its own. The young men take
pride in decorating their bedrooms to their tastes and they rearrange them
constantly. Our classroom has filled up with projects and posters,
and our library is filled with art work from our painting class! In our group home, we have created
a safe place both physically and emotionally for the boys to grow and mature.
It is here that they are truly learning about the joys and challenges of
what it takes to be a dynamic and growing family.
