Ahoy prayer warriors, Our regular ministry sails have begun with a variety of trips from a Adult support group who are learning to enjoy life in spite of mental illness, to adults with mental disability, to providing a staff retreat for those helping Adult offenders adjust to responsible living, to at risk teens and those in Foster Care families. B-About Sail Ministry is available to all who are in need of the saving grace and assurance of God who loves them and through His Son Jesus Christ who desires to have a personal relationship with them. Thus far we have shared with 243 teens and adults over 17 sail trips. The week of July 1st is a time for rest and maintenance. Then for the next 5 weeks we will be conducting ministry sails every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday. Much prayer is requested for wisdom, strength, good weather, and open hearts to receive the good news of Jesus Christ. We know that the gospel is only good news if it gets to them in time.
Thank you from  Crew and Captain. May we by God`s grace sail on!

Well our sail/ministry season is off to a wonderful start. A Blessing of the Fleet at our Marina in Sandusky was well attended with remembrance for our fallen service men and women and those currently serving. A touching memorial service was held off the Marblehead Lighthouse for one of our fellow Dockholders. On June 7th. a 8 1/2 hour sail to Cleveland for a weekend of providing boat rides to 130 people and providing Gospel Bracelets which most all accepted. A return trip to Sandusky on Monday was just as long and with limited visibility and rain. Wed. was our first sail with a Youth group led by a former Miss Ohio  Then on Friday evening a special support group of adults followed on Sat. with folks from my church who supported a missions trip to the Dominican Republic. So a total of 13 trips and 183 people we have ministered to thus far. Your prayers make the difference!
