HAWAII SEAFARERS MINISTRY
Sharing God’s love and aloha to international longline fishermen coming to the harbors of Honolulu. Mostly composed of Filipinos, Indonesians, Vietnamese, and other Polynesians. These men are documented overseas workers but do not posses any US visa, hence, they can only stay within pier premises. Our ministry reaches out to them by being their ohana away from home by hosting bible study dinner fellowships at Pier 17 or Pier 36. We bring them food items such as local vegetables and other ingredients; donations such as clothes, shoes, or toiletries; new arrivals get what we call “welcome packs” which includes a pillow, thin blanket, a bath and a face towel, and some basic toiletries. We also help shop for them for any personal items that they need that they cannot otherwise get themselves. We also have Medical Team volunteers composed of professionals, retired personnel, and medical students that come to Pier 17 and/or Pier 36 on Tuesdays and Fridays starting around 6:00 p.m. HST.
Join us in doing international missions in our own backyard!
