Our primary strategy is to plant new port outreach ministries to seafarers and maritime workers is the heart of our ministry.

Most Christians living in the port cities of developing counties have never thought of taking the Gospel to seafarers coming to their port.

Our first challenge is to plant the vision of the need for visiting seamen to hear of love, forgiveness, peace and hope through Jesus Christ.

Once the vision is planted we work with local Christians to establish their own seaman and maritime worker visitation ministry. Their level of involvement depends on their own resources of time, funds and people. Port of Hope does not finance local seamen and maritime workers visitation ministries.

Then train them to carry out their ministry, first as they envision it and later as we encourage them to try new ideas.

Hopefully we enter into a long and ongoing partnership, including networking, supplying literature and JESUS videos in the heart languages of seamen and encouragement.
