Vision Statement
Ravah’s vision is to bring glory to God by uniting individuals of diverse cultures to conduct refreshing ministry as one in the Body of Christ and return to their own communities changed for life and overflowing with joy.
Mission Statement
Ravah Ministries exists to enable on-going cross-cultural relationships between U.S. and Mexican churches in order to accomplish mutual evangelism, personal spiritual growth, leadership development, and a powerful exchange of material and cultural resources and refreshment of spirit.
Ministry Values
Cultural Directorship
We are led by a bi-cultural Executive Director, enabling us to provide excellence in understanding the unique and important concerns of both U.S. and Mexican churches.
Relationship
We build more than buildings and develop more than projects. We facilitate true Christian fellowship between individuals and churches across international boundaries. People matter. Relationships last.
Integrity
We conduct ministry from beginning to end with a priority on honoring God through character that is above reproach.
Safety
We place the highest priority on safe travel, working environment, food, lodging, and conduct expectations on all participants.
Evangelism
Communicating the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a clear and relevant way is an integral part of all projects.
Cross-Cultural Influence
We believe all cultures have a lot to offer. We seek to facilitate sharing of beneficial lifestyle concepts and urge an open mind and heart to these lessons. Ministry will always be conducted with cultural sensitivity and respect.
Innovation and Sensitivity In Project Design
The way we’ve always done it is not the way it has to be done. We will constantly look for new, creative methods and will welcome suggestions and ideas. We tailor projects to match the strengths and needs of both churches.
True Partnership In Ministry
Churches will work together, side-by-side, with dual ownership and responsibility.
Thorough Training
Significant pre-trip orientation and training support will be provided to mission teams and their leaders
