Sharing the Gospel: ship to shore, shore to ship
We expanded our seachurch ministry with new approaches in 2010.
Onboard – Sunday services
Seafarers often request for a service onboard when they visit our ports.
Also, even when the chaplain does not conduct a service, he visits ships and shares sermon notes and gospel materials to crew members.
Email – sharing Good News every Sunday
Every Sunday, the chaplain sends out the gospel message to ships and seafarers via email. In 2011, we sent out messages to around 270 ships but currently, we are sending the message out to XXXX ships.
YouTube and Facebook – reaching seafarers’ families
We have a online community for seafarers, their family and friends.
Manila
Our Manila Project is an extension of our seachurch outreach ministry where since 2011, we have visited the Philippines to meet with seafarers. Philippines is the home country of the largest number of our visiting seafarers in Geelong.
Reports of our previous mission trips to Manila in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 can be found below:
