Seafarers' Ministry
Our mission at the Port of Pascagoula is to address the welfare needs of international seafarers visiting our port. By meeting some of their physical and emotional needs, we earn the privilege to minister to their spiritual needs. We transport the seafarers to the center in our 15 passenger van to offer them Christian hospitality, our internet server, and refreshments. If they want to go shopping in Pascagoula, we transport them and return them later to their vessel, at no charge.
While at the center, the seamen may take time to Skype loved ones or play a game of ping-pong or pool. They may pick up a copy of the ITF Bulletin or other reading material. All of the reading material, including magazines, Bibles, tracts, and the Jesus DVD in their language, are free.
May God help us “share the love of Jesus Christ”.
