December Mission of the Month
Anchor House
Anchor House was founded in 1991 and incorporated in 1993 to address the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of all seafarers arriving at Port Manatee, along with the surrounding SeaPort Manatee Community. As a gospel-centered mission, Anchor House reaches out to serve international seafarers, truckers, and the local community in Port Manatee, Florida. Our motivation stems from the words of Jesus Christ who commands us to “go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20) We take this mission to heart, striving to meet the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of the Port community regardless of race, gender, country of origin, or religious belief.
We fulfill this mission by providing spiritual and physical nourishment to seafarers and the port community. Our activities include ship visitation, conducting worship services on board vessels, distributing “ditty bags,” transporting seafarers to town for supplies, hospital visits, and much more. Our mission is supported through ongoing personal discipleship with local dock workers and online engagement with international seafarers via Zoom and social media, along with personal visits to Port Manatee. Currently, we are sharing the Gospel online with seafarers from Russia, India, and the Philippines. We also distribute Bibles in over 40 languages, and personal spiritual counseling is available upon request.
We sincerely thank you for your support over the years. Your generosity enables us to continue God's work locally at SeaPort Manatee and internationally among seafarers. We are grateful for a remarkable last year and eagerly anticipate an incredible 2026.
