The locations where Christian Maritime Missions will be operating will depend on the availability of ships.
It is intended for our first ship to be operating within the Pacific Region.
As finances and God dictates, we will expand our ships to include other areas such as Carribbean, South America, Asia, Southern Africa.

The Pacific covers over twenty thousand Islands. Not all of these Islands are habited. These islands can be clustered into groups called Melanesia, Micronesia, Polynesia and other islands within Oceania covering a whole range of different cultures and religions. Some of these cultures have had only a sprinkling of the Gospel and Christianity, so therefore this makes it a very good Missionary and Church planting ground.
The Carribbean covers over seven thousand Islands made up of Portugese, French, Dutch & Spanish descent. With a varied range of cultures and beliefs, these islands are a spiritual battle ground as different tribes still have witch doctors and spiritualists.The need for discipleship in Christianity is growing and with that these islands are now starting to prosper.
South East Asia which covers Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Burma, Phillipines, Singapore, East Timor, Cambodia, and part of China offers the greatest challenge of all in regards to gaining the respect of the local communities. The main religions are Hindu, Islam, Buddhism, Sikhism plus many other cultural religions covered throughout a population of over 500 million people. Christianity is growing at a rapid pace, but a lot more Missionaries are required to help rebuild after recent conflicts, political unrest and natural disasters.
Southern Africa, being a multi -cultural society has had in recent years vast political unrest, wars, famines, droughts which has brought devastation to the people.The need for change and in both religious and politics is well overdue. Southern Africa as a whole is in need of Missionaries to help bring this continent back to prosperity through the hands of Missionary organizations. The need for medical and practical help is so great. This Ministry could place several ships in this area alone.
