About 1.3 million seafarers work away from home for months or years at a time. The vision for a thriving church on board every seafaring vessel is a 21st-century missionary vision that addresses the plight of those easily overlooked and vulnerable workers of today's global marketplace.
How does one start a church on board a ship? Is it possible for such a church to survive? How can churches on shore support churches on the sea? Martin Otto addresses these and many other practical questions in this book, drawing on his personal experience over many years in seamen's missions.
A young Christian seafarer wrote, "Through a church on board, we can grow in our faith in Christ, and our hope is renewed every time we come together."
According to Patrick Johnstone, missions researcher and author of Operation, "Many missionaries who have served overseas could find a remarkable new outlet for using their skills and acquired language abilities to enable this vision to be a reality."
