For decades, OM’s ships have travelled the world
supplying literature, helping people in need, motivating Christians,
training young people and sharing the Good News of God’s love.
Today the ships are still touching lives — powerfully demonstrating
God’s love through our international community living and serving
together onboard.
Knowledge
Known for their floating book fairs, the ships have visited over
1,100 ports in more than 140 nations, welcoming over 35 million people
onboard. Visitors can select from over 6,000 book titles, covering a
wide range of subjects and available at a fraction of their value.
Grants of books to schools, libraries, colleges, churches and
universities in developing countries have made a positive impact.
Help
Those caught in the grip of poverty often lack basic education and
healthcare. OM Ships workers have undertaken a wide range of relief
projects worldwide. Their efforts include constructing orphanages,
building shelters for victims of natural disasters and distributing
medical aid, food and supplies.
Hope
In a world of uncertainty, true hope is only possible by engaging in
a personal relationship with God. In every port, volunteer crewmembers
share this message of hope with those they meet
Having a purpose in life also brings hope. Through the onboard
training programmes, our ships offer an ideal environment for
crew-members to discover and cultivate their gifts. For many, it’s a
significant step towards a life-time of serving God.
Pray With Us
Prayer plays a central role in OM Ships International and is a
foundation for everything crew are involved in. Unite with us in asking
God to move in these key areas.
-
Pray that all who visit the ships will be impacted by God’s love during their time on board.
-
Pray for open doors to serve people in many different countries, and for all the work involved in planning ship visits.
-
Pray for God’s provision of qualified marine
personnel (and many others) to serve on board, and for needed funds
through generous giving by supporters.
-
Pray for strong partnership with the local Church. Their support and partnership is key to the success of each visit.
