Christmas gifts for sailors

Lots of joy last year!
Seafarer's evangelist Guus Peters e-mailed us at the beginning of October. 'We'll be handing out Christmas gifts to the sailors again. Do you want to support us?'

Of course we will help again! Each year Guus and Annemiek Peters head down to the cold and windy ports of Antwerp, Gent and Terneuzen on December 25th and 26th to hand out Christmas gifts to the sailors.

And each time they see the smiles on the faces of these sailors, who often miss their families during their long voyages around the world. 

For many years Guus has been working among sailors, building relationships, listening to their stories, praying with them and sharing the good news about Jesus Christ.

Each year this project is made possible because of gifts from people like you! For 8,00 euro you can sponsor a Christmas gift. This year the men will receive a warm sweater, some sweets and a dvd.

If you would like to bless the sailors this Christmas, send your donation of 8,00 euro (or a multiple) to St. Traveling Light, Papendrecht, IBAN: NL91RABO0118582275, BIC: RABONL2U.

Make sure to mention SAILORS as we have several projects coming up in December.

Let your light shine in a dark world!
