Amazing Grace Maritime Missions serves Calvary Renuevo in La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico with their Health Education program and their first Vacation with a Purpose Outreach.

Serving the isolated fishing village of Puerto Lobos, Sonora, Mexico for the first time with health education and Home Health Kits sponsored by generous donors.

On a hot May afternoon in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Mexico shipyard, YWAM Mazatlán commissioned Amazing Grace during a conference, where over 300 people attended representing thirty countries. Amazing Grace will serve […]

An incredible story unfolds as Amazing Hope makes her way south off the coast of California and Baja California, on her way to Mazatlán.

On a sunny Saturday morning from Newport Beach, CA on March 9, s/v Amazing Hope begins a 490-mile journey.

Last November, Amazing Grace Maritime Missions was donated a 32’ Bristol sailboat to serve in Mazatlan, Mexico. We have christened her the s/v Amazing Hope as she will bring the hope of Christ as we teach sailing to at risk youth in Mazatlan.

We know that m/v Amazing Grace will be the right vessel equipped to respond in disaster situations and deliver water, food, and volunteers.

While the people of Mazatlan were spared by Hurricane Willa, communities about 200 miles south go without power or water in the flooded towns of Teacapan & Escuinapa.

Worshiping at the shipyard and praying for provision and progress to complete the refit of 30 beds, a medical treatment room, new galley, appliances, engines, generators and a tender.

We are very thankful for your thoughts and prayers! We know that we are loved and we hope you know that you are loved unconditionally.

Thanks to you, we’ve had an incredible year. Together we provided over 300 medical and dental services and completed one epic voyage from San Francisco to Mazatlan, Mexico. God is so good!

Just before we entered the Sea of Cortez, with the tip of Baja Peninsula to the north, sheltering us from the 5 foot seas at 5 second intervals expected for the crossing, our starboard engine quit again.

On Sunday morning, January 29, 2017, m/v Amazing Grace departed Bethel Island for the last time to cruise to Marina Bay Marina in Richmond for the Bon Voyage party that was well attended by our relatives, close friends and church family.

Today is the one month anniversary of our arrival to Mazatlán, Mexico. The Youth With a Mission (YWAM) Mazatlán Team embraced us into their family.

Guest post from YWAM Ships Mazatlan: The M/V Amazing Grace has finally made it to its new home in Mazatlan! Today, Sunday February 12, 2017 the M/V Amazing Grace pulled into port at Marina Mazatlan after a two week voyage that started at Bethel Island, California.

The ship is getting ready to serve the various populations of Mazatlan and the unreached people along the Sea of Cortez! We have a group of experts this week volunteering time to prepare for the voyage.

The sharing of the grace of Christ takes place on every step of our journey.

After months of preparation and sweat equity from many volunteers, we are ever closer to our voyage to Mazatlán, Mexico to serve those in need.

After a final fail at the Sausalito shipyard, several miracles happened allowing Amazing Grace to dry dock at Bay Ship & Yacht in Alameda. Alameda was our first choice but […]

At the threshold of the shipyard, one of the dock’s supporting rails broke. It is being repaired and we plan on moving the boat to shore tomorrow. In God’s time!

Amazing Grace arrived safely in Sausalito at 1523. I accidentally turned off the tracking half way through the cruise. It was a shakedown cruise after all. Tomorrow Amazing Grace will […]

God willing we sail to San Francisco on Sunday so we’re cleaning the freshwater tanks. I asked Noah what’s more important: bailing water or prayer? He said, “Prayer can move […]

We installed and checked many systems this weekend. Bilge pump, generator, both main engines, anchors, hydraulic rudder systems and the autopilot. Here is the Full Report: Ran plumbing to the […]

After weeks of continuous phone calls, surveys and ship preparations yesterday we received a quote for ship insurance to sail to Mexico. One small step. Now on to getting into […]

Carmichael Presbyterian Church – you guys rock! Out of the blue your team of 20 youth showed up and blessed us. Washing a 100ft ship is no easy task and […]

While we’ve been preparing the ship, our Ywamships team in Mexico has helped build 3 homes, distributed Bibles, begun the Ywamships discipleship school and took Christ to the streets during […]
