Our Story
About Michal Missions
A nonprofit rooted in faith, driven by purpose — empowering youth and communities around the world.
How We Started
Founded on a Vision to Serve
Michal Missions was founded by Dr. Bradley Smith with a simple but powerful belief: every young person deserves the resources, support, and opportunity to thrive — regardless of where they live.
What began as a local commitment to youth in Youngstown, Ohio has grown into an international effort, reaching students and families in communities as far as Pakistan, where Michal Missions supplies classroom materials to a school and orphanage led by Victor Jacob.
We are guided by the conviction that investing in young people today builds stronger communities for tomorrow.
