About Harbor Witnessing
Harbor witnessing is one of the most unique and adventurous forms of the ministry. Publishers visit commercial ports and harbors to witness to sailors, dockworkers, and maritime crews from around the world. Many of these individuals come from countries where Jehovah's Witnesses have little or no presence.
A sailor who receives a Bible or publication in harbor might carry it back to their home country — becoming an unintentional missionary. Harbor witnessing groups often coordinate with the international office and use multilingual publications to reach people from dozens of nations in a single afternoon.
