The Talk Place

David Elliot writes from Weipa:

Greetings from “Outback Mission to Seafarers”. We are providing each ship that leaves from this port (often one ship each day) Bibles in the languages the seamen speak (generously subsidised), ENGLISH bibles (courtesy of the Gideons), Jesus Film DVDs, Global Recordings Network Australia Words of Life CDs (very generously priced), Bible studies, Christian booklets, plus an ample supply of magazines and secular books, Christian calendars, plus a newspaper, all in all filling a banana box.

We have just now purchased a communications system for the ships so that the guys can make phone calls.

With regards to the nationalities that we cater to, here is a list: Arabic, Croatian, Tagalog,
Mandarin, Hindi, Greek, Korean, Ukrainian, Russian, Romanian, Polish, Burmese, Thai, Turkisk, Kiribati, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Maldivian, Italian and Serbian.

The seafarers are a very needful group and unlike a lot of Aussies in our “Lucky Country”, the seafarers have a real hunger for God's word. Therefore, we have a wonderful window of opportunity here in Weipa.

May God bless you in all that you do.
