Mirco & Olga Rühle

Mirco and Olga will be joining Martin and Monika Otto as full time chaplains in the port of Hamburg starting in July 2025. In the meantime they will be preparing themselves for the ministry. Mirco is looking forward to visiting ships with Martin and learning from him alongside studying theology to equip himself for a better service to the seafarers.

The family of five is excited about this new chapter in their lives. They heard the call to serve the seafarers in the beginning of this year and started to pray about it and to take steps of faith to see if God would confirm this with them.

They are looking forward to joining SCFS in Hamburg and to have more opportunities to bring the Gospel to the seafarers, by sharing about the love of Christ through listening, conversations or practical help.
