Sailing from port to port, the crew experience the needs of the world first-hand. Being in a position to help whether by donating supplies, building a house, or offering a listening ear is both a privilege and a responsibility. The crews seek to provide aid and relief in situations of particular need as a practical demonstration of God's love for mankind. Coupled with their focus on education, this approach aims not only to alleviate immediate needs, but also to bring long-term change in each community.
