We met at dock security and drove to the ship about 5:30. We checked through deck security and they took us to the crew mess. After visiting the crew for a short while, Gina started preaching the gospel to them. She quoted scripture and shared testimonies, and then I shared as well. We shared John 3:16-36, John 14:6, and Revelation 3:20. Gerard also shared and quoted scripture as well as posting some scriptures for them to look up in their Tagalog New Testaments. When we were finished we prayed for them. Then the captain asked us to pray for the health authority as they had an inspection and were required to do some work in the galley. The final inspection will happen tomorrow and they need to pass this inspection before they can leave.
Also, the captain will be getting off the ship in Prince Rupert, their next port. He asked us to pray for his safety and protection, and so we did. We also prayed for safety and protection of the crew and their families back home. It was a good visit and they thanked us for coming to see them.
