A Little Navigator History


The Navigators started in the pre-World War II Navy at Long Beach, CA. Our ministry grew quite rapidly among the battleship sailors of the Pacific Fleet. After Pearl Harbor, our work spread throughout the Navy and the Army. Following the war, our first Navigator missionary to China in 1949 was Lieutenant Roy Robertson, a former F-6 Hellcat pilot.
Over the ensuing years The Navigators have grown to have an ongoing presence in 108 countries, including working on U.S. campuses, military bases, and in cities’.

Over the years we have learned how to work closely with military leaders and earn trust and respect as we help young sailors, soldiers, airmen, and marines. Our work actually helps improve the readiness of our armed forces and strengthened families through developing character and confidence, all at no cost to the military.
