The founders of The Boston Project were Gordon College students. In 1995, they were inspired by a vision to see teenagers bring glory to God and to be discipled as they served others. They sacrificed their time, summers, and many hours in prayer and labor to be obedient to God's direction. They have served as Board members, summer staff, publicity people, financial supporters, and did the grunt work to establish The Boston Project Ministries as a non-profit corporation.
Today four of the eight founders are still serving with The Boston Project, and we witness the fruit of their labor and faith. We thank God for our founders; Mike & Cori Coffey, Marc & Emily Pitman, Elizabeth Wilson, Stefan & Cami Foerster, and Paul & Glenna Malkemes.
