ships visited this week
7 ships on Monday:
BALLAD, BRO ALEXANDRE, and LIST - Filipino, Russian, and Mexican; Filipino, and Swedish;
Filipino, and Ukrainian. Prayed with the Filipino and blessed their families. Gave out the Scriptures to
the Russian and Mexico. I love this job.
MARITIME VANESSA - Filipino, Indian, Malaysian, and Chinese. There was only 1 Chinese on this
ship. I went to this ship twice. The first time I went for the Filipino, 'cause I thought she was only a
Filipino ship. The second time I went for the Indian and the Chinese. The Chinese was a believer
already, 'cause he had a good Christian friend. He learned a lot from him, but he never had a chance to
pray the salvation prayer. So I led him to make the decision to follow Jesus, and gave him a lot of
Scriptures and materials to read. He liked them very much.
ROMNY - Russian. Responsive.
CHEMBULK YOKOHAMA - Burmese, and Polish. There was only 1 Polish, he was the captain who
didn't believe in Jesus but he didn't against religion. I met 1 of the 2 Burmese Christians on board and
blelssed him.
FORMOSA SIX - Chinese. This is the 4th time I have been on this vessel for the last 3 years. I knew
the captain, and chief engineer, the 3rd officer, the chief cook, and some others. The names didn't pop
up, but they knew me too. I led 6 people to pray the salvation prayer.
