Bringing health and hope to isolated people in South East Asia and beyond
A mission to bring aid to Burmese refugees and hill tribes on the northern border of Thailand
Donate now to make a difference!
Your donations will be matched dollar for dollar in 2026/2027 by Daniel Bernhard from Canada. Help Mission Ship to give aid to Burmese refugees. Currently we help send aid to the Burma border camps and support Burmese refugees growing coffee in the mountains. This artisan coffee is sold in churches in US, UK and Canada to help missions at the border. This supports the farmers and their families and helps fund microloans for other small businesses such as handcrafted textiles.
Small donations welcomed via Buy Me A Coffee https://bmc.link/missionship
Help us to help those in need with Mission Ship and its programs by donating. In 2026 and 2027 all donations doubled by our matching donor Daniel Bernhard from Irricana, Alberta, Canada
Funds are used to give aid and relief to those in need through our missionaries Robert and Ta Denning in northern Thailand helping those escaping violence in the Burmese Civil War (Myanmar). Women are helped in establishing small businesses with microloans, business plans for such diverse products as coffee farming and handcrafted textiles. Children are funded for schooling and school supplies.

What is Mission Ship?
Mission Ship began as a schooner named IXDOS providing health services to remote islands. In 2017 a missionary pilot and his wife, Robert and Ta Denning, joined Mission Ship and expanded our range and operations to the ongoing refugee crisis from the Burmese Civil War to the mountains of northern Thailand, supporting hill tribes, woman and children and the Lahu, Hmong, Lisu, Akha and Karen hill tribes with assistance such as micro-loans for business development in areas such as coffee farming and marketing artisanal products such as handcrafted textiles. Children are supported with schooling.
Mission Ship is like a microcosm of the world - a place where people from every nation, with diverse skills and life experiences, are united through hope.
Mission Ship is a member of KING'S FLEET - worldwide maritime missions network, a UK registered charity.
"My vision is to see Mission Ship bring aid to anywhere there is a need for Christ's love to shine." - Patrick Vickers, Captain (R.N. Ret.) - Our Founder
Anchored in the hope of a better future
Mission Ship is helping isolated communities without basic healthcare, food and spiritual comfort wherever they are. We are also in action at the Thai-Burma border helping refugees fleeing the humanitarian crisis. Volunteers have been collecting and transporting vital medicines and food supplies to the refugee camps in cooperation with local relief organizations. Helping women, infants and children is our priority.
Donations that make a difference..in answer to prayer Daniel Bernhard from Alberta, Canada, has miraculously offered to match every donation to help the Burmese refugees in 2026-2027 (up to a maximum of $20,000)
We make sure that your donations are used to help people in dire needs in strategic locations.
Let’s make a difference!
