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
