About us

Micah Challenge in the UK

Who We Are

Micah Challenge is a coming together of people, right around the world, who want to take up the challenge laid down by the Old Testament prophet Micah, and speak out against the injustice of global poverty. Micah Challenge believes that the Millennium Development Goals provide the world with the best opportunity it has ever had to eradicate extreme poverty, and is bring the church together worldwide in a united cry for this opportunity to be taken.

What We Do

Micah Challenge is about bringing people together: achieving together what we could not achieve alone. The church worldwide is doing amazing things in the fight against global poverty. In fact, there so much already going on it can sometimes be quite daunting to know who to support or what to get involved. Micah Challenge wants to help. We work with dozens of partner organisations, complementing their work by helping the local churches and Christians to hear about and bringing them together where that helps get things done.

Coming together means that we reach more Christians with our vision, that we pray and speak out with a united voice in calling for change, and that our campaigns have greater impact on public opinion and on our leaders. By coming together we become a movement for change.

Micah Challenge works in the UK to connect Christians to the global Micah movement. We want to reach Christians who are passionate about justice, inspire them through a fresh understanding of how the biblical calling to ‘see justice done’ and connecting them into ways to do this in a world where billions still live with the daily reality of the most extreme poverty.

The Global Micah Movement

Micah Challenge is present in 40 countries around the world and the international Micah movement is continuing to grow all the time.

The global nature and unity of Micah Challenge is one of its key strengths. Campaigns in developing countries are strengthened by the political weight of higher-income countries with strong access to government at all levels. Similarly, campaigns in high-income countries benefit from the increased legitimacy that comes from standing shoulder to shoulder with developing countries toward the same goals.
