Marine Reach Ministries (MRM) is the main maritime arm of YWAM, currently working in 14 countries. MRM started in 1990 in New Zealand with a small group of people who wanted to share Christ’s love to coastal communities around the world through the use of ships. What started out as a ministry using ships to reach the medical needs of the poor and needy in the pacific has grown into a variety of different ministries. Today MRM is a growing organization of trained professionals and dedicated volunteers who use ships, trucks, containers and mobile clinics to demonstrate Christ’s heart of hope and compassion to those in need around the world.
