NEW Newsletter from SCFS in Australian Ports

SCFS Representatives visit seafarers onboard their ships while they are in port with two main aims.

Firstly, to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to non-Christian seafarers onboard their ships while they are in port, through the provision of English & Foreign languages Bibles and Bible Study courses.

Secondly, to provide fellowship, encouragement and resources to Christian seafarers so that they too might proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to non-Christian seafarers onboard their ships, specifically by leading onboard Bible Studies.

While SCFS representatives are primarily concerned with the spiritual welfare of seafarers, they will nonetheless endeavour to ensure the social and emotional needs are also meet, as and when they become aware of such needs.

Information about the the Bible courses offered to seafarers is contained in a tri-fold brochure produced by SCFS Australia entitled, 'Bible Courses for Seafarers'
