On Sea Sunday churches all over the world come together to remember seafarers and pray for them, their families and those who support them. The Mission to Seafarers needs your prayers and support for all merchant crews and their families on Sea Sunday 2016, to continue our vital work for those in need.

“The Mission to Seafarers works tirelessly to provide help and hope to seafarers in distress in 50 countries worldwide. In 200 ports, from Southampton to Sydney, every day the world’s 1.5 million crew men and women look out for the Mission’s ‘Flying Angel’ flag. The Mission is universally trusted to be of service for everyday problems and in maritime emergencies. Please help the Mission by holding a Sea Sunday service this year. This year is The Mission to Seafarers’ 160th Anniversary and we are celebrating Sea Sunday on 10 July to give thanks for Mission work then and now.”

- The Revd Andrew Wright, Secretary General

On Sea Sunday, we give thanks for the work and inspiration of The Mission to Seafarers and the founder, Revd John Ashley. For all who have heard God’s call to build his kingdom amongst seafarers and who have stepped out in faith, not knowing quite where the journey might lead.
