Mission of the Month: Mission to Seafarers

Thank the Lord for the new center chaplain Wayne Meyer in the center in Durban. Chaplain Clive in Cape Town. Chaplain Rev Philile in Port Elizabeth.

Loving God, the creator of the world. We pray on this day, for all seafarers as they sail upon the waters. Be with them in those times when they are anxious and feel far from home. Give them strength to undertake their duties with competence and in safety. Be close to their families who depend upon them for their well-being. Inspire all captains to lead their crews, all engineers to maintain their ship, all deck crews to work together in safety and all cooks to feed the hungry. Amen.
