Mission One Million was created in October 2003 to meet the overwhelming needs of the orphaned and abandoned children, to expand Christianity by supporting and raising up missionaries, and to plant churches in the least evangelized, most populated and poorest third-world countries. This 501(c)3 corporation was founded by Christopher Leeper, the Chairman and President of Mission One Million, who has been involved in working with orphans and building churches since 1998.

In 1999, Chris Leeper went to the country of India where there are estimated to be over 86 million orphaned or abandoned children living on the streets and begging for food everyday. He observed and worked with a ministry called Hopegivers International that has over 6,000 orphans and has planted nearly 6,400 churches. The ministry that he observed was taking in the orphans and raising the children to become nurses, teachers, pastors, missionaries and orphan-care facilitators. For the first time he observed a system that not only provided for the needs of the children but was also giving the children guidance to become leaders and valuable assets to their community and country.

This mentality birthed a vision to create Mission One Million. Our vision is to reach one million orphans, raise up one million missionaries and plant one million churches in the least evangelized, most populated and poorest third-world countries. Orphans, missionaries and churches are the three pillars that hold this ministry together and we believe that most of the orphans that we reach and raise will accomplish our three main goals.
