At 82-years-old, Roeli Elbers is still going strong spreading the gospel and serving weary travellers through her work with the Norway Seaman’s Mission.
“It’s the Lord!” said Elbers of her ability to coordinate the work of the ministry, which provides a home away from home for cruise workers and seafarers while their ships dock at Norwegian ports.
Elbers, who is from Holland, previously worked as a missionary in Suriname with her late husband before moving to Alaska with a view to working with the native people groups there.
