The basic foundation of the work has been the profound concern with the spiritual need amongst seamen. Seamen, living in poverty, doing hard labour far away from home. Seamen, from so called "closed" countries, where their government tries to keep out any Word of God. Christian seamen, living in spiritual loneliness, who are in need of support.

The work consist of two main targets:

• Encouraging and helping fellow Christians, who are often very lonely on board of their ship.
• Spreading the gospel to seamen of any nationality, giving them a way to find peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Beside these main targets we try and offer practical help to seamen, for instance by giving them warm clothes. At the end of the year we hand out many Christmas parcels containing sweets and small gifts, always accompanied by some literature in the won langauage of the seaman. Being disciples of Jesus Christ, we can do something for "the stranger passing through our gate".
We provide a list of all the ports, where co-workers from "het Havenlicht/SCFS" visit ships, elsewhere on these pages.
