We met Gerard, Bill Crofton (guest), and Grant at the dock. They boarded the Global Yuquot and we boarded the Mount Rainier. After checking through security they took us to the crew mess. There were two seafarer in the mess and they invited us to have dinner with them. The captain came to se us and we visited for a while.
After the captain left we began to share the gospel with the seafarers. We started with John 3:16 and went through various scriptures in Romans as well as sharing our testimonies with them. We told them how much Jesus loves them and has provided a way of escape from sin. They were very attentive and after we finished sharing we prayed for their families and safety on board the ship as they travel back to Asia.
Afterwards they invited us to have dinner with them and we gladly accepted. After leaving the ship we continue to pray for the gospel message to continue on as they read the materials in their gift bags. We left the ship and met with Gerard, Bill and Grant on the dock just as three of the crew arrived back from shopping downtown. See the report for the Global Yuquot for the interaction on the dock.
