The seamen themselves become missionaries by taking the Apostolic Faith literature – printed in 70 languages – to foreign ports. As a result, hundreds of letters expressing spiritual hunger come to us. One from Korea wrote: "Dear Unknown Friend: I want to know the true Christianity which saves people from sin. Can a sinner such as I be saved by Christianity?" 

An appealing request for prayer came from the Turks Islands where some seamen's homes were in the path of an approaching hurricane. Prayer was answered. The hurricane swerved, changed its course just before touching their area, and their homeland was spared from great destruction. 

Many of these natives on the Turks Islands have read the Christian literature sent to them and numbers of them have been converted. They now have a fine group of converts worshiping in Christian fellowship. 

Because so many Greek seamen attending our services either take literature home with them, or leave names where it can be mailed, it seems the whole land of Greece is "sown" with the message of the Gospel. In fact, practically all our foreign branch churches and missionary fields of labor have grown on soil where Christian literature previously had been sown in the language of the individual nation.
