Port:Harmac West
Crew: 22 Filipino
Names of Ship Missionaries: Gary & Gina Steele, Gerard Guimbatan
Result: 10 heard the gospel
Items taken on & given out: 8 bags of Cobbs bread, 1 bag of Christmas gifts, 100 tracts, 10 Canada pins, 11 coins with the Ten Commandments on them
We arrived at the main gage and with 8 bags of bread and 1 bag of Christmas gifts there was no way we could carry all that to the ship through the mill. By the grace of God, a security officer came up to the main gate with a truck and took us to the ship. We were taken to the mess room and we introduced ourselves to the crew there. The captain invited us to have dinner with them so we agreed and had a good meal. It was nice to get to know them an share a meal together.
After the meal they all listened to us share the gospel. We began with John 14:6 ““I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Me.” Acts 4:12 “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.” This sets the stage and the basic requirements for salvation. We also shared Matthew 24:4, Revelation 3:20, Revelation 20:11-15. They were very attentive to everything that we said and after we finished we prayed for the safety of everyone on the ship, with no breakdowns in outer waters, and for their families back home. We also prayed for the salvation of the seafarers on board.
We are thankful for this visit and pray that God will bless them and use this visit to His glory.
