The German Seamens' Mission in New Orleans serves many functions to the German speaking residents of the Gulf Coast. Pastor Neumann, while retired and working without pay, works endlessly to serve the maritime community. He conducts monthly church service in the German language and ministers to the community of German and U.S. citizens. He visits ships in the port daily to minister and help seamen of all nationalities and faiths with social services, transportation to shopping and medical help, exchanges films and video tapes, transfers funds, and many other services. He advises port authorities and serves on many maritime committees. The Mission building serves as a library, media and communications center, and overnight accommodiations for seamen in need.
The German Seamen's Mission maintains forty-two stations in Germany and around the world. Seventy-two full-time staff and many volunteers are engaged in our missionary work. Our Church in Germany makes a great effort to finance our work. In addition we receive financial help from federal resources, shipping companies, and unions, and gifts from those interested in our work. The Church is moved by the Love of God and speaks of it. The Seamen's Mission is the voice of the Church in the seafaring world. The German Seamen's Mission attempts in word and deed to bring the message of God's Love to seafarers and their families.
