We were on the last ship last Sep. There were three Christians on board, fitter,
able seaman, and gas engineer. (see picture 3 for fitter and I), (see picture 4
for some other crew). All receptive. Prayed with some of them and blessed the
crew. One Indian sailor told me that speaking the material things western
countries are leading, but speaking the spiritual things Indian is well advanced. I
said to him there is only one God, and only one Spirit. He said that he believed
what I believed in. I wish he doesn't mean it.

visited the second ship and the last ship over a year ago. The crew changed
to a different nationality entirely on the last ship. And it was just an initial visit.
(see picture 5 for the Chinese crew on the third ship). (see picture 6 for the
2 Russian, Filipino, Chinese, Filipino, and an Indian couple on the fourth ship).
We were on the fourth ship last May. The half Chinese Christian captain on
this ship knew me, and called my name from behind. He reminded me that he
was a chief officer when we saw each other last time, and now he is a captain.
Then he invited me for dinner. I prayed with the other Chinese and gave him
the Scripture, Jesus DVD, and all the Gospel materials.

on deck. A small number of the crew have been changed since last time we met
on this ship. I had a good evangelized talk with the captain and the third officer
on the last ship. The third officer was very receptive. The captain was close. He
said his mother and grand mother are Christians. We prayed in his cabin.
