Overview: A long-term successful ministry to International Cruise & Cargo Staff has been developed through Global Maritime Ministries under the direction of Philip Vandercook. Our own Leonard & Ann Davis are CBC missionaries working with Philip in the New Orleans Unit. They work diligently to build relationships in the port and on the cruise and cargo ships. Just about everyday the crews of the ships get off at the port to do shopping and take a break. Global Maritime (GM) provides transportation with their bus to take them to Wal-Mart and to the GM center where they can use the phones, computers, etc. to contact their families around the world. The staff includes many different ethnic groups from around the world, so the possibilities are tremendous in reaching people. The GM center has Bibles, Christian literature, phone cards, computers, kitchen, pool table and game area, a chapel and lounge. 

This team will relate by interacting with seafarers through relationship building, ministering through pick up and drop off of crew from cargo and cruise ships, providing a Wal-Mart Experience, and manning the center related to phone cards, computer access, and literature.
