SCENES FROM CRUISIN' FOR CHRIST II (August 2-9, 2008)
LOOK WHO'S COMING IN 2009
CRUISIN' FOR CHRIST is the God-inspired vision and brainchild of national bestselling Christian fiction author, Kendra Norman-Bellamy. The idea of the at-sea ministry was birthed in 2006 and eighteen months later, it came into full fruition. The cruise's mission is to celebrate those artists who use their gifts and talents to the glory of God, and its agenda consists of empowerment workshops, Christian writing clinics, health seminars, entertainment panels, jazz/poetry/open mic sessions, comedy showcases, gospel concerts, book/cd signings, photo opportunities, games, couples' and singles' nights, and more.
Making its debut on August 25, 2007,
