Each year we donate items to this Lutheran mission to offer Christian love, a helping hand and friendship to Seafarers from around the world. Donate directly to this worthy cause through the Amazon Wish List. Visit the link below to view the Seafarer's website or click the button to order an item directly from Amazon. Donations can also be made through St. John. A satchel of items is a $35 donation, however, any donation towards a satchel is greatly appreciated.
Support Bellor Venus Chea
Seafarers International House
Support Bellor Venus Chea
One of our own needs help! The beloved niece of a St. John member was caught in the Ukrainian conflict while studying abroad in Ukraine. A Liberian citizen, Bellor, has been able to relocate to Germany and has applied for a visa to the United States so she can continue her studies here. St. John is helping by providing her with the funds needed for housing and food as she waits for the process to bring her home to her family in the US. With God's grace, we hope to continue helping her in this way as long as it is needed.
Donation envelopes for Bellor are available in the Narthex.
