Medical Outreach Coordinator

Marine Reach Ministries is always looking for people to join them in ministry. However in order to join us long-term you must have completed a YWAM Discipleship Training School (DTS). If you would like to join us and you haven’t completed a DTS, we do accept interns for 2 months up to 1 year on a case by case basis.

There are a variety of opportunities with Marine Reach Ministries available. We are a ministry of Youth With A Mission, and as a result, we have a unique model for financing our ministry. Every YWAM worker, including the founder Loren Cunningham, raises enough funds to meet his or her own financial needs. For most people in YWAM, these funds come from friends, family and churches who contribute financially.

If you don’t know how you could fit with us, or are looking to serve in a different capacity, please contact us. We would be more than happy to discuss ways that you could help to support and develop this ministry.
