In partnership with churches, associations, your state convention, and SEND Relief, the Serve Tour seeks to inspire you to engage in compassion ministry through participation in ministry projects in Miami, FL. Our plan is to find ways to meet needs and bless churches, schools, local governments, and compassion ministry non-profits. In addition, we want to strategically help local revitalized churches and bless bi-vocational pastors by providing assistance.
We want to make it easy to bring people together in Jesus’ name to make a difference.
Our goal is for the Serve Tour to become a unifying opportunity for Southern Baptists to demonstrate to a watching city who we are and more importantly, who our Savior is. As believers swarm the city, we will provide pre-trip training guides and a 30-day prayer guide to help you take your next step on missions.
What will you do?
You will begin each day of Serve Tour at the Christ Fellowship – Downtown hub. The address is 500 NE 1st Ave, Miami, FL 33132. Your project leader will give you instructions each morning of the Serve Tour.
Project details:
Volunteers will serve with International Seafarers Ministry of Miami to step aboard a major cruise ship to minister directly to the crew members who serve on board during their limited time off while the ship is docked. Crew members come from a wide range of nationalities, cultures, and faith backgrounds, including South Africa, the Philippines, India, China, Peru, Colombia, and Zimbabwe.
Volunteers will spend approximately four hours on board engaging crew members in conversation, offering encouragement, praying with those who request it, and sharing the hope of Christ. Volunteers will bless them in practical ways by distributing small items and gift cards.
This project provides a unique cross-cultural missions experience by bringing the gospel to the nations through serving those who sail across them. Volunteers should be prepared and comfortable to share with people from different worldviews and cultures. While English proficiency varies, all crew members communicate in English to some degree.
*Special note: Volunteers must be at least 21 years old and will be subject to an additional background check and registration. A valid ID will be required the day of. Volunteers will also be transported from the hub to the port and back to the hub.
*Registration closes on February 4th or when the event reaches capacity*
