For all those at sea, or at home with loved ones at sea:-

• You might feel there is nobody you can talk to about how you feel
• You might be deeply worried about personal problems on board, or at home
• You may or not be a Christian, but you want to understand what the Bible teaches

As Pastor of the SCFS Christian Fellowship, I want to do all that I can to encourage you to write to me David Thomson or my wife Isobel. If necessary, I may be able to translate other languages.

I will keep your identity strictly private and anything you tell me.

Extracts from sailors' letters:-

• "I was so pleased to receive your letter and booklet of friends in ports …"
• "Your letter about the Asian Tsunami helped me understand …."
• "I read all the teaching with my new Bible several times to help me teach my wife …"
• "I am so glad to know your friends are praying for me and my wife in our situation …"
• "Thank you for the Bible study course… here are my answers …"

Extracts from the wives of seamen:-

• "I am a housewife married 7 years and we have 3 children. Please pray my husband…"
• "I really thank you for your responding, to my request for the same Bible study my husband did …" (written in Tagalog to Isobel)

David Thomson, SCFS Pastor.
