The 1M Project

The idea for this Project started just before my 40th birthday. I was coming out of a long journey through divorce. During that season I began praying a simple prayer for my life.

God, I ask you to give me a radical love that looks like you, costs me greatly, and moves me to action.

While I prayed this prayer, God placed a dream in my heart to reach 1 million people for Jesus.

I shared this dream with friends and family and then was challenged to work on putting a plan together to make it happen. After posting a video on Facebook where I asked people to help me come up with a name for the Project … the 1M Project was coined. In January 2019 the 1M Project became a non-profit ministry with a 501(c)(3) status. 

Some highlights of the 1M Project Organization include:

2018– Work began under Jennifer DeBrot’s leadership.

2019– the 1M Project became a registered 501 © (3).

2020– the organization secured rental space in downtown at The Corner building.

2021– Grew City Serve program efforts from 1 neighborhood to 6.

2022– Launched volunteer training classes and adopted a new strategic plan.

2023– Began to build out the training center plan and relocated to new office space at Kingdom Life Church.

2024– Continued efforts with expanding training courses and our community partnerships.

2025– RESET YEAR
