Michael and Catherine have been serving with Coastal Light Vessel Ministry in a volunteer capacity, but are excited to be raising support to be full time. Michael has decreased his tent-making job in September 2025 to make more time for his vessel maintenance responsibilities. Catherine is the ministry director and spends a lot of time in communication and coordination. On vessel voyages, they serve as engineer and captain alongside trained short-term crew.
Coastal Light Ministry serves remote boat-access people on the coast of British Columbia, Canada using a 52-foot mission boat. We encourage and make disciples through genuine relationships. For more about connecting the coast with Christ’s love, visit www.coastallight.ca
