Mission accomplished for seafarers at Port of Richards Bay

The Richards Bay Mission to Seafarers’ (MtS) monthly report for May shows a lower than usual activity list as Chaplain Mark Classen and his Ship Visitor wife, Eva were overseas for a time and then down with flu.

Nevertheless, their positive impact was felt through 33 ship visits and one hospital visit during the period.
