Finally! After six long years of preparation, I'm finally ready for my journey to Africa. I'll be leaving for Monrovia, Liberia at the end of June, 2007 to work as a nurse for Mercy Ships for 12 months. I'll be living and working on the Africa Mercy while it remains docked in Monrovia. The Africa Mercy is the largest non-governmental hospital ship in the world and it will be in its maiden voyage starting in Liberia. Following the example of Jesus, Mercy Ships brings hope and healing to the forgotten poor. One way Mercy Ships brings healing is by performing free surgeries aboard the Africa Mercy for those in need.

Look at the Success Stories and you will be shocked and saddened at the types of hardships people endure in developing countries. I am posting a before and after picture of Edohm, a young girl with an unbelievable tumor. I know the picture is shocking - can you imagine living like this? I am posting this photo because I hope it triggers a spark that will make anyone who sees it want to reach out to a person in need - maybe someone at work, or a neighbor or someone halfway around the world.
May God's peace and mer
cy be a reality in your life today.
