The Captain
Captain Walker D. Plank served in the Royal Navy for 30
years before becoming a trade boat captain. He and his crew sail the high
seas in order to meet new people and teach them
about the Bible.
"I
sail because I love to. I lead because I'm
called to. My crew will always be following
God's example as long as I'm in charge."

The Buccaneer
This guy seems to only appear when something needs
fixed, accomplished or saved. He's a mysterious
one, saving the day on more than one occasion.
No one really knows where he hails from,
possibly Spain or France, but when on
board, he is one of us.
"Living
on the sea is what I was born to do. Now that I
serve with such a great crew, I'm given the
opportunities to spread the Word of God to new
areas of the world." |

The Master
Master Locke N. Key is the Captain's right hand man.
He has his eye on the ship at all times, but
most importantly, he is the keeper of The
Code Book. The Code Book is where the crew
stores all the important information they learn
on their voyages.
"The Code Book is a special piece to this crew.
We learn how to conduct ourselves from the
Bible, so we write it down here for other crew
members to read." |

The Landlubber
Mr. Bradley did not grow up on the seas, but has had
a passion for a nautical adventure all his life.
He has lived near a port though, so is well
versed in the sea life. He is your host this
year that will take you aboard "The Believer" so
together we can Discover the Code.
"Though I've never been aboard a real ship, I'm
excited to learn the ways of the sea. I hope
you'll join me on this adventure to discover
God's guidelines for our lives!" |

The Deckhand
A
man of few words, Mr. Swab D. Deck is always at work
fixing a leak or repairing a porthole. In fact,
it's a rarity to not see him working on
something. He has been serving on "The Believer"
for 2 years and is constantly learning new
things by studying the Code Book.
"The Captain defiantly keeps me busy during the
day aboard the ship, but I always find time to
open the Bible and jot down scriptures in The
Code Book." |

The Quartermaster
Master Jesse runs the day-to-day operations on
the ship, overseeing that everything happens in
a timely fashion. While at port, he teaches the
local children how to search for God's Code. You
will usually find Jesse behind the sail or below
deck running operations.
"Overseeing the operations of the ship is a
daunting task, but someone's got to do it. It
makes me feel good to know that I play a part in
spreading the Word." |

The Ship Chaplin
The crew wont set sail without the Chaplin on
board. Mr. Welton has been sailing with this crew
since day one. Not only does he spend time
ministering to those below deck in the bilge,
but focuses his efforts on teaching those who
are not familiar with The Code.
"I
believe every crew member on "The Believer"
needs to know what the Code's mean, and how to
apply them to their lives. They then can share
their knowledge." |

The Boatswain
Mrs.
Alison grew up on the seas and has devoted her
time to training young sailors on The Code. The
Captain has always allowed her to use the
Captains Quarters to teach. She enjoys spending
her time at port as well as traveling from
country to country delivering Bibles.
"Teaching is a blessing but is not easy. It takes a lot of
planning and patience. But most importantly, the
support from your fellow crew members."

The Sailmaker
On
the ship, Mrs. Pam makes sure the crew is taken care
of whether that be with the garb or sail
maintenance. As well as ship guidelines, The
Code Book contains instructions for life; so she
spends her time on board crafting ways to make
The Code creative and interesting.
"It's important to have fun while aboard "The
Believer." All work and no play makes for a
cranky crew. So I'm always on the look out for
ingenuitive ways to teach." |
