One of the crew members on board the CMA CCM Marlin was wearing a "Mission to Seafarers" shirt. He had purchased it in Mombasa, the largest port city in Kenya, Africa.
It reminded me again how vast this world is, with its endless oceans and many ports. Seafarers often tell me how much they appreciate the Mission to Seafarer's centers in ports around the world. In 2009, 640,000 seafarers visited Mission to Seafarer centers, and more than 76,000 ships were visited by Ministry to Seafarer chaplains the same year!
Thank God for a "Home away from Home".
