Relate Ministries ...

Mike Kosut, a 42-year-old husband, father, and Christ-follower that saw the need for spiritual growth in men envisioned Relate Ministries. From Montgomery, Texas, Mike was a self-drive entrepreneur chasing the American dream – money, self-happiness, worldly accomplishments, and a relationship with anyone wanting to have fun. He was shown what a Christian leader looked like in 2015. After helping decorate a church for Vacation Bible School (VBS), a life change occurred. His wife had "signed him up." After being introduced to the gospel through this event, he volunteered to help as a junior high counselor at a kids camp because "He loves a challenge." The next three days were life-changing. Mike connected with the kids through this event, changing his outlook on life. He accepted Christ on July 18, 2015, alongside many youths he was there to grow.  A fire ignited, and he volunteered continuously, leading to a full-time position at Fellowship of Montgomery in Montgomery, Texas. Through God's gifts, he was provided the opportunity to care for the congregation's facilities.  The next five years gave him the fuel he needed for this newfound flame. He grew from a self-centered, worldly achiever to a self-sacrificing, green, and growing member of Christ's church.  In 2021, Mike knew God had prepared him to do great things to advance the kingdom of God. He is now spirit-led and Christ-filled with God's guidance in growing Relate Ministries. He is called to reach the disconnected and connect them to those leading a purposeful Christ-filled life through small events and activities. 

Nancy is a Christ-follower, wife, mother, and minister to children and families. God placed Nancy in a place where God was able to call to her and help her accept His gift of love, acceptance, and ultimately eternal salvation. Nancy has been married to her college sweetheart, Ron, since 1990. They have 3 wonderful daughters and two godly sons-in-law. Nancy graduated from Texas A&M University in 1991. After graduation, she had varied careers including selling overhead cranes, desktop IT support, network administration, preschool teacher, elementary instructional aide, and finally on staff at Fellowship of Montgomery as a ministry assistant. During her years at FM that she experienced God’s call into full-time ministry as a children’s minister, a position she never in a million years thought she would ever willingly accept. Having been on staff for years, she knew what the position required and had no desire to step into that realm. God had a different idea. He equipped her for the calling He placed on her. During that time, she experienced the deep joy of knowing she was walking in God’s plan for her. In God’s timing, He moved her from that position and has placed her at Relate Ministries to impact families from the perspective of growing men to be spiritual leaders of their homes. She is currently studying towards a Masters in Children’s Ministry from Dallas Baptist University and looks forward to graduating in 2023.
