by Susan Huppert, NAMMA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lighthouse Harbour Ministries in the port of Vancouver, British Columbia sees itself as the evangelical outcome of God\u2019s work among committed communities with an eternal purpose. This mission understands its mandate: to love and honor God by serving the seafarers of the world in word and deed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incorporated\nin 1981, the outreach has followed closely the vision of Chaplain Emeritus Teus\nKappers who was first invited to care for seafarers during his late teen years.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\na young student at the Bible College of Wales in 1972, Kappers, was approached\nby London City Mission to work at the seamen ministry in Tilbury, England.  He undertook the work passionately unaware he\nwas preparing for his next opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During\nthis time, committed Christians and church leaders across the globe in British\nColumbia, Canada, were becoming aware through random outreach to seafarers in\ntheir local port, that a center would benefit a mission to seafarers in\nVancouver. Through various interactions, the concerned found comradery and invited\nKappers and his wife, Maria, to consider leading the mission they envisioned. With\nmuch prayer, the couple ultimately decided to relocate their young family in\n1982 along with thousands of books and Bibles from Open Doors mission of the\nNetherlands to Vancouver to establish a new mission which continues today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\nthe concern for seafarers grew, prayer seemed the bedrock of the development\nresulting in leadership and funding from various and unexpected sources including\na small church that was closing which donated $75,000 to the mission during its\nearly years. These opportunities confirmed those involved that God was invested\nin their project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lighthouse\nHarbour Ministry has grown to include five staff members\/chaplains and over 100\ndedicated volunteers who provide hands-on service from visiting ships to\nknitting caps or baking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A second seafarers\u2019 center was established in 1996 to serve the Faser Surrey Docks, a port located south of the greater Vancouver area. The port is the largest modern, marine terminal on the North American west coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nan initial meeting between Chaplain Kappers and the CEO of the Fraser River\nPort Authority, Kappers presented his vision. The port agreed to sell the\nmission three trailers and provide a piece of land to lease for one dollar per\nyear. The remodeled trailers became an attractive building for seafarers to\nrest and recreate.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the organization has helped develop three other missions: at the port of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, where no physical center exists but ship visiting and literature distribution is offered; at Port of Prince Rupert, where the ministry is led by Pastor Zito, a Filipino and full-time chaplain since 2013. Here, an active group of volunteers man a center in town; and in Victoria which serves cruise ships from May to September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially in Victoria, the Kappers worked from the back of their van contacting the crews, building relationships and giving the Jesus<\/em> DVD in 32 languages. In 2012, the port authority permitted the mission a fitting location. A large tent next to the cruise terminal became the destination for cruise ship workers.  The Lighthouse team developed leadership and volunteers with unique cross-cultural backgrounds, like a retired South African Navy officer, who accepted the role of full time chaplain. Workers commit to months of training as they greeted thousands of seafarers who come to the Lighthouse tent.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of the three groups have since launched as thriving independent ministries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is close to what the Apostle Paul did in Asia,\u201d said Lighthouse office manager, Paul Ratsoy.  “He began a ministry, trained locals, but left the churches in the hands of other overseers.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two more \u201cfledgling\u201d seafarers\u2019 ministries in Halifax and Saint John, New Brunswick, also originating from Lighthouse Harbour Ministries are now developing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nconservative evangelical outreach places a high priority on the spiritual care\nof seafarers believing personal contact and conversation are best. When able to\nmeet with crew members individually, ship visitors try to understand the\nseafarer\u2019s individual needs and challenges. They offer spiritual care from a\nnon-denominational point of view and physical care as a response to their honor\nof God.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost\nseafarers\u2019 physical needs are met. Our first priority is their spiritual need.\nEternal life is our greatest concern,\u201d said Ratsoy.  \u201cGod has given us a great amount of gentleness\nand respect. We react to unbelievers as Jesus did. He never forced himself. When\nwe tell seafarers of Christ and they are not interested, we respect their\ndecisions.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If seafarers express other needs, we do our best to meet them as well. If a seafarer has a legal or contractual need, we refer them to the local ITF representative for assistance.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harold\nHanna had visited ships in Vancouver as an independent evangelical for 50 years\nprior the formal development of a mission. In 2005, his son, Ray, joined the ministry\nboard and began volunteering one night a month. He has since become the senior\nchaplain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nLighthouse chaplains, ship visitors and volunteers seek to answer life questions\nwith Biblical principles. Bibles are offered in over 30 languages to those who\nrequest it. Aware of the unique lifestyle working and living at sea involves, fellowship\nis important when seafarers come to a port according to Hanna. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cThe greatest need for seafarers is hope,\u201d\nsaid the senior chaplain. \u201cMany seafarers have extended contracts. Many have\nbeen disappointed repeatedly. They need hope.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nmulti-cultural crews contend with difficult working conditions from dangerous\nweather to piracy. More deeply rooted and a less identifiable liability is the\nloneliness and isolation which accompanies this profession. Hanna contends that\nfinding balance with internet use is also a challenge for seafarers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSeafarers\nare attracted to Wi-Fi. We want them to maintain personal interaction with\ntheir family and friends. There needs to be balance. The internet can keep them\nin their cabins when dockside and that isn\u2019t good. We find that they need to\nhave their feet on the ground when they are in port. We want them to meet\npeople and to laugh with people. We want them to have valuable personal\ninteraction.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following\nthe recent restrictions of the COVID pandemic, Hanna is excited to see their\nfree shuttle service resume. Centers are opening again as part of controlled\nshore leave set by Transport Canada. Safety protocols are being implemented so seafarers\nare again able to visit the seafarer center where there are refreshments,\ngames, literature, personal contact and a small store. In addition, a brief\ndevotional time is offered each evening. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When\ninternational crew members leave Vancouver for sea, the mission uses social media\nto maintain contact. WeChat, Facebook, Messenger and other applications are\nbeneficial internationally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhatsapp\nis a very good way to continue to building a relationship and encourage those\nat sea in times of trouble,\u201d said Hanna. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\ncross-section of mission volunteers, originating from various countries,\nintersects well with the multi-national crew members on ships. Faces light-up when\nseafarers meet someone they have things in common with.  Lighthouse Harbour Ministry highlights the\ngreatest commonality as they see it \u2013 the human soul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur\nmotto has been \u2018Lord, when we stop sharing the Gospel and become just\nhumanitarian shut us down.\u2019 It is a combination of both,\u201d said Hanna. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
