Be inspired and catch God’s vision for the seafarers of the world! Martin Otto is an eyewitness of how god is building his Church amongst these easily forgotten, marginalized and often lonely, economic nomads of the high seas. Through Christian friendship and hospitality, as well as letters and correspondence bible studies, lives are being changed and many have been saved!
Martin Otto has been in full time ministry since 1987 reaching out to seamen with the gospel. He is based in Hamburg, one of the largest ports in the world, where he works in association with the Seamen’s Christian Friends Society.
Patrick Johnstone, author of Operation World:
"What a strategic book! Around 200 of the world`s 238 countries have direct access to the oceans of the world - and these are many of the least evangelized countries. Reaching seafarers is strategic, but building a network of evangelizers, disciplers and even seafarer congregations in the world`s ports could be even more so! May this visionary book help to encourage this and so contribute significantly to world evangelization."
Dr.Allan K.Adams, former Director, M/V "Logos" & "Doulos"
"Ever since he was on a short-term mission assignment, I have followed Martin Otto`s ministry personally. His passion for reaching people, especially seamen, with the good news has matured with years of consistent practise. The insights captured in this book come from his dedicated daily experience. The challenge brought to us, his readers, should motivate us not merely to a greater awareness of the need, but also to personal involvement in touching the lives of these neglected people."
Peter Strauch, President of the German Evangelical Alliance
"Seldom has a book touched my heart as this one did. It clearly shows what happens when a person is willing to listen to God and be obedient to Him. It also creates a perspective and moves hearts and minds for an international group of people who are amazingly willing to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. What a challenge, to support the seamen's missions through prayer and gifts, allowing perhaps one self to be called into this work! Here is an open door and we would be wrong not to take advantage of it."
Michael Wilson, International Director of the Seamen's Christian Friend Society, England "A seaman on board ship comes to your country for a few hours perhaps, or a few days. While at sea he is lonely and full of cares. Which Christians will meet him at the port and reach out to him in love and friendship? Martin Otto tells about the many encouraging opporrtunities he has had as a seamen's missionary, in taking the gospel to a forgotten people."
