Where possible, we will help organize clean water to families without it (the San Blass Islands in Panama are an example), to help rid them of debilitating parasites, and with clean water keeping them that way.
As situations become evident, we will spearhead further humanitarian needs: medical, nutritional, Bibles in a particular language, and alert the organizations we have partnered with that provide these services with on-site guidance and communications.

Bringing the Good News of Jesus and the true Gospel to people groups, that have never (or rarely) heard the name of Jesus.....probably since the Spanish adventurers first took the gospel to the New World....in the 1400s and 1500s.
A Rescue Mission as Christ came to Rescue us
First in North, Central America, and the Caribbean, supporting existing church missions, taking the first year to get used to the vessel, running shake-down cruises, and making repairs while serving, and then beyond, all in God's will and timing.
Misunderstanding this mission doesn’t change the reality of the human need or the Great Commission....THE RESCUE.
Let me repeat: What one thinks of this vision of rescuing souls for eternity, or of helping those less fortunate, doesn’t change their reality......
.......our hope and purpose is to change yours.

Captain Richard & First Mate Lori
We subscribe to the mindset ….“whatever it takes,” as opposed to…“what’s it going to cost,” a limiting belief.
Of course, we will be purchasing all the tools/equipment, and gathering all the resources as required, as well as acquiring crew, food, fuel, supplies, and logistics, etc.
THIS IS A MAJOR RESCUE EFFORT for building the Kingdom of God and helping other people groups in need, at such a time as this. It is an 5-8-year plan for us....then pass it on.
Now is the time!! Our God has opened the door.
It has been 11-years since God gave this assignment and our taking action, waiting, learning patience, acquiring quality partnerships, and endurance......Obedience!
Please read About Us for more info on the How, the Why, and

THE VESSEL
A power boat will serve as the home base of operations and provide accommodations for the crew and for mission/organization teams that come and go. Long-range capable, and the ability to get to the areas of need steadily and without fanfare or much notoriety (sailing would use up too much time and way more maintenance and risk). Must have cargo capacity, food and medical refrigeration, and be safe. And, of course, where volunteers (and parents) can know their people will have a safe place to stay should that be required when in country.

She needs to be in very good maintenance and solidly built for safety and ocean voyaging (CE A, open ocean rating). A place to hold church services and prayer gatherings, great communications equipment [Starlink], and good cargo capacity with enough cabins for crew, and perhaps, mission working guests.
This is where the crew will live for the long-term....some will come and go.
