we are on a mission to lead boaters to life in Jesus

The Crew

Tim

Tim has a lifetime of experience on the water and is an avid and knowledgeable mariner. He is a USCG licensed captain having operated a wide range of vessels such as towboats, fireboats, charter boats and more. He believes his time on the water has been preparing him for this season and is now using these experiences and skills to further the gospel by water.

Kim

Kim, having marveled at the ocean from a young age, initially pursued a marine science degree. After committing her life to Christ in college, getting involved in the church, and serving with youth, God led her to switch her major to education. As a science teacher for over 12 years, she saw God’s hand in merging her love for marine science and her call to teach. Though at teacher by trade, Kim realizes it is a gift from God and desires to share all that she learns from the Lord with others to encourage them in their walk with Him.

Evelyn

Passionate! This young lady puts her whole heart into everything she does. It was spoken over her as a baby that she would, “sing and dance before the Lord at a young age” and this has come to fruition. She has committed her life to Christ, always has a song on her lips, and dances to get to wherever she’s going. Her desire is to work with horses and is constantly awestruck by this amazing creature.

Izabel

Compassionate! This young lady wears her heart on her sleeve. She’s a prayer warrior, thinking about the needs of others. Izy has committed her life to Christ and God continues to grow her in the knowledge of His word. She is fascinated by God’s creation and makes friends with his creatures. Her patience and gentleness with animals (and insects) cause them to flock to her. Her desire is to be a veterinarian.

Jessi

Outspoken and witty! This young lady knows how to get someone’s attention. Her cheerful spirit will make you smile. As the youngest, she keeps us on our toes and constantly laughing. Every time we pass a cross she yells out, “Mom, Jesus died on the cross!” If you ask her “why?” she says, “for our sins”. We are believing that this little girl will grow in God and serve Him all the days of her life!

Our Story

In May of 2020 on our 10 year anniversary trip, as we reflected on our last 10 years and pondered the next 10, the Lord began tugging on our hearts. Over the course of the next year the Lord began changing our focus! Throughout the process, He revealed things, lead us to release things, confirmed things, and answered prayers as we pressed into what He was calling us to. With each shift, as we walked in obedience, it got easier and easier to lean in deeper. Often we are faced with what seems to be a mountain we forget to allow God to be in control. He’s right there waiting, if we’d only give Him total control of the situation. So, February of 2021, we gave him that! As we surrendered, He spoke… He led us to sell everything and move into our 30 ft. travel trailer with our 3 girls. For 3 years we traveled the country as He led; encouraging others in the faith and sharing the gospel with the lost. After our time in the wilderness, he has called us to a mission by sea, returning to our passion for the water, reaching the boating community and supporting ministries throughout the Caribbean.

Who?

Every year thousands of boats from all over the globe head across waters into the Caribbean and beyond. We have a heart for this community as it is a unique group of people. Some start their journey as retirees, excited to explore the islands in their later years. Others have begun as young sojourners pursuing an unconventional lifestyle of adventure and spontaneity. Several just want to live as vagabonds, detaching completely from societal norms. If unbelievers, this lifestyle limits their availability to hear the gospel. If believers, this lifestyle limits their ability to connect with a church body for continued spiritual growth and encouragement. Regardless of their pursuit or standing with Christ, we have learned that most desire community on the water and enjoy lending a helping hand to the precious island communities they visit. Our passion is to see boaters come to Christ and to live a LIFE of purpose, using their passions for the Kingdom.
