We are getting ready to start our Journey to Africa and hence we hava a new blog. We have already traveled across the USA and are making our final preperations for our "Gateway" class to begin. We will be in Texas for about 6 weeks studying the scriptures as well as ship safety training in our preparations for a life onboard a Mercy Ship. When we leave Texas we will be spending 6 months serving onboard the M/V Africa Mercy. The M/V Africa Mercy is a 499-foot 16, 572 ton ship. It is the world’s largest charity hospital ship. The purpose-built hospital includes six state of the art operating rooms, intensive care and ward bed space for up to 78 patients. Jen and I actually met while serving onboard the M/V Anastais which was replaced by the Africa Mercy.
