Evangelism is Gospel bearing. Last week we learned that an evangelist speaks the Word of God with all boldness and confidence. We're not intimidated by political correctness, but Biblical correctness is the basis for our witnessing. The Word is the power of salvation to everyone who believes. We always proclaim that the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ frees us from the bondage of sin and eternal death. So many seafarers are convicted by the Word and place their faith in the living Christ. Evangelism is a way of life. We're commanded not only to speak the Word of God with all authority, but to be living witnesses. Being doers of the Word is evangelism. Our behavior is closely observed by others. We're read like letters. St. Paul puts it this way in 2 Corinthians 3:2, "You yourselves are our letters, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody." The Spirit of God is a living example as followers of Christ. Seafarers are taken advantage of in so many ways, but we gain their confidence by being truthful and genuine. Since they come into contact with many people worldwide, they want to see if we're for real. Our ministry is blessed when we conduct ourselves in a Christ-like way. Evangelism is being a loving friend. We exemplify God's love in a tangible way by our words and works. They experience our friendship by us caring for them. We don't have to tell them we're their friends. They'll know it by our love. A Chinese seaman observed my actions for 3 years before becoming a Christian. Steven takes seafarers to church and shopping. They become Christians and some are baptized. Thomas has Bible studies on the vessels and takes time sharing the Scripture with them. He has the anointing of the Holy Spirit to relate person to person evangelism. His love is contagious, and there is a great response to his genuine friendship. While handing out Bibles and praying with some seafarers on the docks, a person was moved to make a large contribution. He was investing for eternity. We urge you to pray and financially support the ministry on a monthly basis. God richly bless you. Maranatha!

Evangelism is soul winning proclaiming the suffering, dead and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It’s sharing the Good News with the seafarers. As we do so, their spirits are open for a Gospel witness. In love we minister to them spirit to spirit. So often as the Word is spoken, we are able to perceive the Holy Spirit touching their spirits. At this time the seafarers are open to listen to the Word. There is now an encounter to engage in a discussion pertaining to spiritual things. We always endeavor to communicate with them the truth of God’s Word. It’s the Truth that will set them free.
In Luke 5:1-12 we learn by example this seafaring story. Jesus told Peter to launch out into the deep. After hesitation he obeyed and made a miraculous catch. Jesus said to Peter that from now on he will be fishers of men. This is evangelism.
Seafarers can identify with this story. Peter worked hard to make a living as a fisherman. Constantly facing death, seafarer’s monotonus daily life on board is working, sleeping and eating. There may be a little recreation to enjoy. They always welcome a chaplain on board to serve and freely give ourselves to them. We counsel individually and collectively as the need arises. We always keep our witness Christ centered. Without Christ , there is no Good news.
When you gain their confidence, they’re willing to share with you their fears, difficulties and aspirations. Since there’re away from home so long, they have personal and family problems with no one to confide in. A young Chinese cadet was lonesome for his family, and we directed him to Christ. A Filipino’s mother had died, and he wasn’t able to attend her funeral. We brought comfort to him from God’s Word. There are so many opportunities to be Christ’s example. God has placed us in a strategic ministry. Thanks for your prayers and financial support. God richly bless you. Maranatha!

Dear saints redeemed by Christ's Blood July, 2009
David says in Ps. 35:28, “My tongue will speak of your righteousness and of your praises all day long.” This truth distinctly describes our ministry to seafarers. We’re fulfilling God’s Word by our witnessing and worshiping on the ships. We verbally profess Christ sharing the Jesus movie and freely giving the seafarers Bibles and Christian literature. Worship is praising God for His divine love. Although most of them are not allowed ashore, we have church on board conducting mini Bible studies, praying in groups and personally sharing the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Many are believing in our Sovereign Savior.
Lifeline to Seamen is endeavoring to use innovative ways to reach every person by the Spirit's power with the life changing Gospel. Thomas and a number of co-workers are reaching out to seafarers in tangible ways. They energetically serve the vessels and take some shopping. During the last quarter from April to June, we ministered to more than
750 Chinese, 1,200 Indian, 300 Myanmar, 75 Koreans besides thousands of Russian,
Filipino, Polish and others. We also freely distributed hundreds of Jesus DVD's and
praise CD's. The world is at our doorsteps. Steve took 40 Chinese to his church and
they all professed Jesus as their Savior. Pastor Peter Chao, their teacher, admitted that they were genuine salvation. Thomas said that many Chinese seamen wanted more Bibles and Jesus movies to take back home and told him that this is just what they needed. Oh Lord, enlarge our vision and lead us to reach more for Christ.
Consider that you go great lengths to invest in your familly. When you make contributions to this international ministry, you are investing in lives worldwide. The dividends are lives for eternity. Lifeline to Seamen is a non-profit tax exempt corporation. We are not underwritten by any church or any other organization but are
supported entirely by your faithful prayers and monthly investments.

We also freely distributed hundreds of Jesus DVD's and praise CD's. The world is at our doorsteps. Steve took 40 Chinese to his church and they all professed Jesus as their Savior. Pastor Peter Chao, their teacher, admitted that they were genuine salvation. Thomas said that many Chinese seamen wanted more Bibles and Jesus movies to take back home and told him that this is just what they needed. Oh Lord, enlarge our vision and lead us to reach more for Christ.

Dear saints redeemed by Christ's Blood July, 2009
David says in Psm. 35:38, “My tongue will speak of your righteousness and of your praises all day long.” This truth distinctly describes our ministry to seafarers. We’re fulfilling God’s Word by our witnessing and worshiping on the ships. We verbally profess Christ sharing the Jesus movie and freely giving the seafarers Bibles and Christian literature. Worship is praising God for His divine love. Although most of them are not allowed ashore, we have church on board conducting mini Bible studies, praying in groups and personally sharing the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Many are believing in our Sovereign Savior.

The person who walks with God always gets to his destination. The seafarers are continually looking ahead to their next port of call. They're eagerly anticipating their final destination which is home. Since there away from their families for 9 or more months out of a year, they count the days when there contract is completed. During their time on board, they have few contacts with the outside world. That's the reason they live a monotonous life which is so often void and lonesome. There also so often taken advantage of by others trying to cheat them in so many ways.
While the sea fares are in port for a short time, we chaplains minister to their needs. We come on board as servants, being their friends and listening to them. Many have spiritual problems often feeling ostracized and lonely. This is why we direct them to God helping them in their life of Borden. As they walk with God they'll always arrive at their final destination.
As we mentioned last week, Steve Yeboah took five Chinese seamen from EASTERN GRACE to church and shopping. The fitter was a Christian. The rest of them received Jesus as Lord of Life and were baptized. Thomas received a call from a chaplain in England informing him that a born again Myanmar thanked him, in that he's witnessing to his faith. The Holy Spirit is touching the lives of sea fares by setting them free, delivering and multiplying the body of Christ. God is moving, and we thank him for the ministry he has laid upon our hearts. And we're grateful for your prayers and assisting us with a $1,800 Bible bill which needs payment. Were accountable to God and you for all He's in trusted in us. God bless you. Maranatha!
