Christian Missionary Work:
Open and honest, punctuality, service-oriented
Own initiative and learning a trade? Opportunities to work
Serving others. Service with a capital S.
We are going to Panama to do Christian missionary work. We want to reach people who are interested in faith and provide them with education.
To cover the costs of our mission, we have our own business. Additionally, we want to teach people vocational skills. This requires effort from both sides and showing initiative.
About us
We live on the S/V Sailing Different with a small, close-knit community that shares a special mission. Every evening, we gather for a moment of togetherness, during which we engage in Bible study and share stories. These meetings are the heart of our journey, where we not only deepen our faith but also plan our activities in the villages and jungles we visit.
During the day, we venture into the jungle to distribute food and clothing to those in need. One of our main projects was distributing 75 backpacks filled with school supplies. It was a great success, thanks to the help of everyone on board. It’s incredible to see how happy the children are with something as simple as a new backpack and school supplies. Their smiles and enthusiasm make all our efforts more than worthwhile.
In addition to our work in the villages, we also have conversations with the local people, including waitresses and others we meet along the way. We share stories and listen to their experiences, which gives us a deeper understanding of their lives and culture. It is in these personal encounters that we truly connect and make a difference, however small.
We also ensure that no food goes to waste. Food leftover from other sailors is distributed to those who need it. It is a simple act of love and care, but it makes a world of difference to those who are hungry.
On the S/V Sailing Different, we live our faith every day by serving and sharing with the people we meet. It is a life of adventure and meaning, where we not only learn more about the world around us but also about ourselves.
