Puerto Rico Project

God has opened a great door of opportunity for Maritime Ministries International in Puerto Rico. The Seafarers International Union recently moved to a new building in San Juan, and donated to MMI their old building. We plan to open a seamen’s mission there as soon as we raise the funds to repair the building. YOU CAN HELP! EVERY GIFT COUNTS! Please go to our secure donation button below to donate.
