Volunteer Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in helping us minister to the maritime community. We appreciate your support!
Below are some tabs with suggestions of way you can serve with us.
If you are interested in volunteering or have an idea that is not listed here, please let us know!
Help us welcome international crew members from the cruise ships who come to our ministry center to relax, use WiFi, send & receive mail, etc. You can help greet and talk with crew members. We have ping pong, pool, and other games that you can invite the crew to play. As you meet crew members, we hope you will have opportunities to pray for people and share the gospel. We have Bibles in various languages to give away as well. Once the last shuttle leaves for the cruise ship, you can also help us clean the center (wipe tables, sweep, mop, clean the kitchen, clean restrooms, etc.) to get the center ready for the next day of ministry.
We visit the crews on board ships visiting the Lower Mississippi River to check on their welfare and offer our services. We need volunteers to help us visit ships to meet this very important need!

We love to offer free snacks to seafarers and port workers who visit our ministry centers. We need volunteers to help us meet this need by providing cookies, cupcakes, and other snacks for us to serve! You can make them at home and deliver them to us or come bake in our kitchen.
We want to maintain our ministry centers with excellence. We need volunteers to help clean the seafarers centers, dust bookshelves, sweep and mop floors, wipe down tables, clean bathrooms, and empties trash cans. We provide all the supplies and equipment needed.
We like to make a great first impression by keeping our ministry centers looking great on the outside. We need volunteers to help us mow grass, trim bushes, water plants, pick up trash, etc. We provide all the needed equipment.
As a non-profit organization, our ministry must raise all of our funds. We plan fundraisers throughout the year that benefit our ministry to the maritime community. We need volunteers to help plan these events and solicit donations.
Below is a list of items we give away to seafarers or use at the center on a regular basis. Individuals and groups can volunteer to collect items and drop them off to our ministry center.
