Coastal Missions

Eric Moe of Anacortes (left) takes a tour of the vessel “Coastal Messenger” February 2 during a stop in LaConner. His tour guide is Tom Maxie, one of the volunteers with a scheduled outreach ministry serving the West Coast, primarily from B.C. to Alaska. This ship does not carry passengers or freight for hire or otherwise. Coastal Missions grew out of Bible studies and training programs at Pachena Bay on Vancouver Island in the 1970s. When it became known that this team intended to incorporate as a missionary society, people began to send money to support it. Coastal Missions was recognized as a charity by the U.S. in 1980. Individuals, groups, businesses, and churches have continued to offer financial support down through the years simply because they know about the work and want to support it. No appeal is ever made for money by Coastal Missions. For more information see www.coastalmissions.ca.
