Launching an online training platform in 2025
Since 2016 we have been boots on the ground - or deck - training the next generation of maritime missionaries.
Seeing an opportunity to expand the reach of this training, we are creating an online training program to bring greater multiplication of maritime missionaries, proficient in safety and seamanship skills, to serve a board medical mission vessels.
This three-year project aims to equip maritime missionaries with essential training through a flexible, self-paced online platform.
The inclusion of live video instruction and one-on-one chat support ensures trainees receive personalized guidance when needed.
Monthly donations sustain our ongoing work, while one-time gifts enable us to develop and launch the platform.
Our goal is to complete the first training module by the end of 2025, with additional modules following annually.
Would you partner with us financially to help meet that need?

"“As a Mariner, I share the passion for training new mariners to be skilled sailors, navigators, helmsmen, and fire-fighters—and most importantly, followers of Christ. In my current role as Chief Officer on commercial vessels, I work toward the same vision.
Matt and Sherry have always been people of faith and integrity, trusting God through challenges that would overwhelm most. It’s been a privilege to support their ministry, knowing they are faithful stewards of all they receive."
