Opportunity Details

Local Partner: Houston International Seafarers

Two Presbyterian Chaplains, together with Roman Catholic Chaplains, Chinese Christian (Baptist) Chaplains, lay volunteers from Catholic and Presbyterian churches, a Buddhist couple and some non-denominational volunteers provide both programs and services to seafarers coming to the International Seafarer Centers and through ship visits to prospectively every single ship calling in Houston (about 8,650 in 2018), offering a listening ear, prayer when desired, Christian study materials and Bibles and/or New Testaments in 47 different languages; occasionally legal referral services in times of stress or abandonment by ship owners and other issues. The ministry serves all faiths, as well as those with no faith in an ecumenical manner, offering their services without cost other than some charges for transportation or items purchased.

Assemble Christmas Boxes for the seafarers. More details coming soon for Christmas 2021!

Create and maintain a website for the Presbyterian Seafarer Ministry.
