# ACMS > Alaska Christian Ministry to Seafarer ## Posts - [George Mueller Principle](https://alaskacms.net/george-mueller-principle/blog/supporters/12/22/): Since its beginning, Alaska Christian Ministry To Seafarers (ACMS) has followed what we call the “George Mueller Principle”. Mueller, a pastor in the 1800’s, opened then directed several orphanages in England which provided shelter and education for about 10,000 orphans. To raise funding for these schools, Mueller determined never to ask people for donations. Instead, ministry staff consistently and fervently prayed that the Lord would meet their daily requirements. He and his staff would let others know about specific institutional needs, but he refused to turn the ministry’s confidence away from God’s provision to “arms of Flesh” (i.e. Soliciting help […] - [Do You Think God Sent a Guardian Angel to Help Me?](https://alaskacms.net/do-you-think-god-sent-a-guardian-angel-to-help-me/blog/testimony/12/22/): by Jeannette Seale That was the question the Filipino bos’n, Marlon, asked me as Joe and I sat in the crew mess of a ship that was unloading bulk cement. The bos’n explained that he had been in two ship collisions at sea, the first one no one was hurt, but the ships were badly damaged. However, the second collision which took place in the South China Sea was caused by miscommunication between the officers on the bridge of the oncoming ship and his little bulk carrier and the chief officer had drowned. Marlon, who was a helmsman at the […] - [About the Ministry](https://alaskacms.net/about-the-ministry/about/12/22/): Early Years In 1980, there were no known Christian outreaches to cruise ship personnel anywhere in the world. This ministry did not start out as an idea to share Christ with the crew of the cruise ships, it started out as sharing Christ with the passengers. Jeannette Seale had a young woman violin student who wanted to play in church but was afraid to stand up in public to play. Since it was the 100-year centennial for the city of Juneau, where they both lived, they dressed up in old fashioned dresses and played old fiddle tunes, dance tunes, and […] ## Pages - [Newsletter (Seward Edition)](https://alaskacms.net/newsletter-seward-edition/) - [Ship Schedule 2026](https://alaskacms.net/ship-schedule/) - [Statement of Faith](https://alaskacms.net/statement-of-faith/): The Holy Scriptures We believe that the entire Bible is inspired by God and is the final authority for all matters of faith and practice.

This mission provides a home like setting to seafarers who come to the mission from various passenger ships that dock in the Seward port. Most of these seafarers come to the mission to use Wi-Fi to call home or to just relax in a home like setting. The same ships come into the Seward port during the summer about every two weeks. This means that many of the seafarers have an opportunity to come into the mission every couple of weeks depending upon their schedule and their position […] - [Alaska Seaman's Mission - Whittier](https://alaskacms.net/alaska-seamans-mission-whittier-ak/): Connected to the rest of Alaska by road, rail and the Alaska Marine Highway, Whittier attracts a large number of visitors during the summer looking for the unspoiled wilderness of water, ice and granite that lies beyond its shores. Whittier’s history is nothing short of fascinating. Not long after the Japanese bombed Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands during World War II, the U.S. Army began looking for a spot to build a secret military installation. The proposed base needed to be an ice-free port and as inaccessible as possible. Whittier fit the bill perfectly, thanks to 3,500-foot peaks that […] - [Alaska Seaman's Mission - Anchorage](https://alaskacms.net/anchorage-seamans-mission-anchorage/): Alaska’s largest city, Anchorage, lies between the mountains and the sea and yet is no stranger to the wilderness. There is no other urban area like it. Among the northernmost cities on Earth, Anchorage is a place with big-city amenities: fine restaurants, museums, theaters, and an excellent music scene. Creating the backdrop are the salmon-rich waters of Cook Inlet and the 5,000-foot-plus peaks of Chugach State Park. Within a short drive from downtown are dozens of wilderness adventures and a short plane ride opens up the possibility of almost any type of adventure. That’s one reason why Anchorage’s Lake Hood […] - [Mission Statement](https://alaskacms.net/mission-statement/): The Alaska Christian Ministry to Seafarers(ACMS) is a conservative evangelical organization. The purpose of ACMS is to address the broad physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the men and women who labor aboard cruise ships and, as ACMS is able, those working on other commercial ocean vessels that serve the ports of Anchorage, Whittier, and Seward, Alaska. Operating in Christ’s name under the direction of Scripture and the ACMS Statement of Faith, ACMS staff and volunteers offer worship services, refreshment, recreation, videos, reading materials, correspondence, and at ACMS facilities ashore.
