Offering for weeks 3 & 4 of November:
Our special offering for the remainder of this month is to the Ministry to Seafarers. It is a ministry dedicated to enhancing the lives of Seafarers regardless of race, religion, gender or rank through ship visiting advocacy, hospitality showing and sharing Jesus’ love by caring for their physical, emotional, spiritual, and justice needs. Their vision is to visit as many ships as possible that passes through the Port of Vancouver and share the Good News of God’s love with seafarers in Word and in deed by providing literature and other resources. Gary Roosma, the chaplain for the Port of Vancouver, has recently visited three ships where one of the ships had 6 women crew members on board, which he describes as the most he has ever seen in a traditionally male-dominated industry. You are invited to donate to this worthy cause via the offering box or click here to give through the Tithley website. (Ministry to Seafarers)
