Many see the global workforce personally. Others communicate only by the internet. Some visible and others not as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mona Horner lives in Canada. She walks her dog at 4:30 each morning and is ready to tee off by 7:30 a.m. Her upbeat tone and Irish accent tell a meaningful story of her volunteer work, she describes as a gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was taught as a child that if you can help someone, then help them,\u201d said Horner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A woman in the background of a Montreal mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For \u201chours upon hours\u201d Horner sits at her sewing machine making Christmas gifts for seafarers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seafarers: the global workforce that supplies 90 percent of the goods we use daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opportunity began when she was asked if she could sew. Her response led to a new Serger sewing machine where she makes a difference in the lives of seafarers from around the world without leaving her home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Port of Montreal, The Ministry to Seafarers, a Christian outreach that visits ships and cares for an unseen people group. Annually with its local partners, it gives Christmas gift bags to every seafarer in their port during the holiday season. Last year, 1,500 bags filled with essentials and treats were given away. One thousand were stitched by Horner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSometimes I set up my sewing machine at the kitchen table, listen to an audio tape and sew all night. It\u2019s nice to know you are doing something meaningful,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Administrator and Volunteer Coordinator for the ministry, Patricia Sarazen, has seen the dedication and generosity the relatively new volunteer offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe is unbelievable,\u201d said Sarazen. \u201cHer bags are all beautiful and exceptionally made.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Horner has a talent to sew and a gift for resourcefulness. When asked to supply gift bags for the annual Day of the Seafarer, she found her fabric a bit bland. So she hand-stenciled the 100 bags with the Canadian maple leaf. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s incredible how the word spreads,\u201d said Sarazen. \u201cIt\u2019s like a well-functioning eco-system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI received five large bags of fabric at my door step this week,\u201d said Horner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHeather\u2019s father was a seafarer. She donated brand new material at first, but then told her quilting group. Piles of fabric were dropped off. It\u2019s a trickle effect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flow of generosity continues as Chinese students and retired businessmen share in the global Christmas outreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been nuts,\u201d she said. \u201cIt is fantastic to see everyone involved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last November, Horner visited a ship and got a glimpse of the people and place where her generosity ends. Or continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn one sense, they are really helping me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The welfare of seafarers remains a concern for Stella Evans since she and her husband began visiting seafarers in the Port of Gary, Indiana 40 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cWe used to go to the port to entertain those on the ships,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the 81-year-old volunteer provides outreach from her home where she sustains her personal connection by crocheting 500 watch caps annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have a ball of yarn with me all the time and I can take the time.\u201d she said. \u201cI love doing that at night when I watch T.V.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evans has about completed 450 hats for this upcoming Christmas season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t always remember, but when I see them, all bagged up, I am amazed,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dedication of volunteers in the background is always appreciated by seafarers. Chaplain Marshal Bundren serves the Indiana port among others. He sent Evans a photo of 20 seafarers wearing her watch caps. A couple of them sent $10 for yarn with a message to \u201ckeep making those hats.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are others who God has impressed to serve seafarers throughout the world. Many without fanfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ute Brinkmann, a German master of violin making has 20 years of experience as a luthier. She served an apprenticeship with the late Gunther Hellwig and gained her journeyman\u2019s experience with Hellwig\u2019s successor. In 1987, she received her master diploma in violin making from the German Guild. Her project received international attention for its workmanship and beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brinkmann\u2019s heart is also tuned to serving seafarers. After learning about port ministry at Trinity Lutheran Church in New Haven, Conn. she put her hands to another service of excellence: baking cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe secret of serving seafarers spilled over in my life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brinkman has been baking dozens of cookies for seafarers since 2009. She loves her personal role in the massive world of seafaring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not the cookie itself,\u201d said the volunteer, \u201cIt\u2019s the fact that seafarers know someone is thinking about them.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She feels that the more cookies that are baked, the more seafarers are positively impacted. She has no plans to slow down, but rather to inspire others. And she does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collection of her recipes will be available in book form at the 2024 North American Maritime Ministry Association\u2019s annual conference in Newark, New Jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baking cookies for seafarers away from their families has a big impact on me,\u201d said<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSometime we need to ask what can I do? What am I here for? Serving seafarers gives me purpose,\u201d said Brinkman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Photo: Seafarers aboard the M\/V Solina wear hats knitted by volunteer Stella Evans (photo provided by Chaplain Marshal Bundren)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Susan Huppert, The MARE Report Throughout the world, in large centers or just an office space, people are caring for the needs of seafarers.
