Offering for weeks 3 & 4 of November:
The special offering for the last weeks in November is for the Ministry to Seafarers in Vancouver. It is a chaplaincy ministry focused on support for and outreach to seafarers who pass through the Port of Vancouver, Canada. Gary Roosma is currently serving as the chaplain, which involves visiting cargo ships in port and serving seafarers in the ministry centres.
For nearly 5 decades the Ministry to Seafarers has received its primary financial support from the 2 BC Classes, with added support from individuals and some additional offerings from individual churches throughout Western Canada. Over the next couple of years this situation will be changing, as the classes restructure their finances. Therefore, if this ministry is to continue, we will need to see a dramatic increase in the number of offerings received from churches, as well as more individual donations.
You are invited to donate to this worthy cause via the offering box or click here to give through the Tithley website. (Ministry to Seafarers)
