* wisdom & ability to the line up team as they organise everything preparing for the ships' visit!
* the 330 strong Doulos crew. It is a six-day voyage from Wellington to Brisbane and then will have to go through immigration and quarantine here.
* Pray for good relationships to be formed with individuals and churches in Brisbane through teams going out and people visiting the ship. Of course, the normal jobs done on board every day need to continue. There's always work to do in the kitchen, dining room, laundry, book exhibition, engine room, information desk, security & safety watches, program dept etc. If you would like to get to know a crew member better you can register for the Adopt-a-Douloid program.
* empower & enable the volunteers helping with various aspects of the ships' visit to be a blessing to many!
There may be opportunities to take someone out for the day or even overnight. Some crew members will have a longer break and are looking for suitable places to be able to get away. For example, a message has come that two Indian male crew members would like onshore accommodation from 30 July to 1 August. If you, or your church,
want to be involved in any of these ways email Ian & Ruth Crowe at qld@au.om.org
