Our gracious ship will also provide respite to those pastors, missionaries and spouses who live near the ports that we will be visiting. Share in this time of blessing others as God’s servants are pampered and encouraged while they serve abroad. We will enjoy excellent Bible-based teachings and fellowship with other on-board believers.
Living Passages — we’re taking the gospel seriously — shouting the Gospel with our lives — praying that we transform some part of the lives of those we serve. We believe that fighting poverty also fights slavery.
