MARRIAGE MISSIONS INTERNATIONAL Marriage Missions International is a Titus 2 web and email based ministry that encourages men and women to “Reveal and Reflect the Heart of Christ Within Marriage.” They follow God’s directive to inspire and teach spouses to “Be imitators of God as dearly beloved children and to live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us…” (Ephesians 5:1-2) This ministry was founded in 2001 by a married couple who almost divorced, but through God’s leading they rebuilt their relationship into a great marriage. They now “live, learn, and pass along” to hundreds of thousands of people every year what they continue to learn. The founders say, “God uses ordinary people to help accomplish that which He could easily do on His own. And yet we are privileged to participate with Him in this extraordinary ministry. As He tells us in the Bible, ‘Apart from Me, you can do nothing.’ We know that to be true!” Volunteer Opportunities: One of the greatest ongoing needs they have in helping marriages is to have volunteers who can word process (type) quotes they use on their web site from the marriage books they provide. They can also use volunteers who can write articles to help those who are married (or are about to be married). These things can be done from someone’s own home at a time that fits in with their schedule.
