Announcement: Honoring the Service of Director and Chaplain Vasiley Udolkin

The International Seafarers Ministry of Miami (ISM) wishes to express its heartfelt appreciation to Director and Chaplain Vasiley Udolkin for his faithful service to the ministry over the past eleven years.

Throughout his time with ISM, Vasiley ministered to seafarers from around the world with kindness, dedication, and a genuine heart for the Gospel. Through his visits, prayers, and personal care, he embodied the mission of ISM — to share Christ’s love with those who live and work at sea.

We are also deeply thankful for his wife, Miryam, whose gracious support and partnership in ministry have been a blessing to many. Together, they have made a lasting impact in the lives of seafarers visiting the Port of Miami.

As of November 1, 2025, Vasiley stepped down from his staff role with the International Seafarers Ministry of Miami to enter a new season that allows him and his wife, Myriam, to spend more time with their children and grandchildren. We extend our deepest gratitude to Vasiley and Myriam for their years of faithful service and wish them every blessing as they follow the Lord’s leading into this next chapter of life.

We invite our friends, partners, and the port community to join us in thanking Vasiley for his many years of devoted service and in praying for God’s continued guidance and favor upon his life.
