RM: Trains future leaders - Builds healthy ministries on the Gulf Coast.

Hurricane Katrina damaged structures along the Gulf Coast. There has been a lot of physical rebuilding; but Katrina has had a personal and spiritual affect on lives.

Relevant Ministry's primary focus for the next three to five years will be to develop an internship program and place interns to serve along the Gulf Coast. Just like the Gulf Coast needed volunteers to come alongside to rebuild homes, Relevant Ministry sees the need to bring interns and volunteers to the Gulf Coast for spiritual rebuilding.

  • Relevant Ministry has a vision is to reach out and partner with churches and ministries along the Gulf Coast that have been impacted by the effects of Hurricane Katrina. We provide both long-term and short-term internships opportunities with an emphasis on spiritual rebuilding.


  • Relevant Ministry has a vision to provide churches and ministries opportunities to support financially, to serve as short-term mission teams, and to send interns for the experience of a lifetime on the Gulf Coast.
