WORD FOR THE WORLD
The Seamen’s Church Institute of New York & New Jersey is collecting and distributing new Bibles in English and other languages to seafarers from around the world. Share in the Institute’s cross-cultural ministry to seafarers by donating new Bibles.

Reading God’s Word is a comfort for seafarers who spend weeks at sea. Reading a Bible, especially in their own language, brings them out of desperate loneliness and into God’s loving presence.

With your support, our chaplains bring God’s love and reconciliation to sojourners who travel a world broken by discord and wearily arrive in the Port of New York & New Jersey. All who work at sea face particular perils, endure substantial physical hardships, suffer lonesome separations, and confront dangerous oceans.

  • All versions of the Bible are welcome.
  • The top three nations supplying the world’s seafarers are the Philippines (Tagalog), Russia, and Ukraine.

Foreign language Bibles can be purchased at Amazon.com; or The American Bible Society Store (800-32-BIBLE) www.Bibles.com
