General Info

"The history of mission already records the significant impact and influence of OM's ships. It is a great privilege to be invited to take on this task and be a part of impacting individuals and entire communities as the ships 'bring knowledge, help and hope' to the world's port cities. It is my prayer and expectation that we will continue to see God working in significant ways through the many committed staff and partners that He has called to be a part of this dynamic ministry."CEO, OM Ships InternationalOM Ships International is the organisation behind Logos Hope. The Ships Ministry began in 1970 as part of the global Christian training and outreach movement, OM International. Since then OM's ships have visited over 450 different ports in over 150 countries and territories and welcomed 37 million visitors on board.Our goal is to bring knowledge, help and hope to the people of the world. We do this by supplying vital literature resources, encouraging cross-cultural understanding, training young people for more effective life and service, providing needed relief, and sharing a message of hope in God wherever there is opportunity.The ships visit each port for several weeks each and open the gangways to hundreds and sometimes thousands of visitors each day. On average, over one million visitors have been welcomed onboard every year! The floating book fairs offer over 6, 000 titles, providing many visitors their first-ever opportunity to purchase quality educational and Christian literature.
