This year, the annual Day of the Seafarer (DotS) will be celebrating its 10th anniversary on 25 June.
The 2020 Day of the Seafarer campaign pays tribute to seafarers, acknowledging their sacrifice and the issues they face. Many seafarers have been away from home for months and are unsure when they will be able to return home due to travel restrictions.
The campaign also seeks to raise awareness of the work achieved by seafarers in response to the pandemic and to thank them for their contribution. Everyone is invited to recognize that the ability of seafarers to deliver vital goods is central to responding to, and eventually overcoming, this pandemic.
The campaign encourages everyone to treat seafarers with the respect and dignity they deserve so that they can continue to provide their vital services to keep world trade moving.
Ministry Project Opportunity
In light of the limitations to our visiting ships, would you consider a ministry project? We would like to send notes of encouragement to our seafarers, to let them know that we are thinking of them, even if we cannot visit in person. (if you do a handwritten note, please PRINT!) An email will do–send a Scripture verse with a devotional thought–we will print these out to share on the ships.
Thank you to those who have responded! We appreciate you.
Prayer Requests
Please pray that the LORD would lead us in reopening safely and what direction the ministry should take in the future.
