Mercy Ships Ministries

Reasons I like the MS ministries:
- we invite local surgeons in our area to serve with us, one will be traveling from Sierra Leone to Guinea next year to help out!
- we provide employment to local workers for various tasks eg. cleaning, translation, aid, general labour, transportation
- during the year we send an advanced group of people to the country we will serve next to plan and prepare the way
- we give money to local NGOs in support of the agriculture ministry; we train the local farmers and follow up with them afterwards
- there are many Mercy Ministries to participate in
- there are always something to join and do for the weekend
- when we depart and there are still patients not fully recovered, we pay local nurses to continue the healthcare for the patients
- we send patients back to local hospitals and pay for rest of treatments
- we train some local nurses
- the turnover rate is high but the organization still operates well!
- six people sharing the same room works!
- community meetings and service gathers everyone together for worship and God inspired sharing
- the crew is actively involved with ward services, outreaches, caring for the patients
- crew are able to mingle and hold children in our arms as we work
- we are all here to serve as the hands and feet of our Saviour Jesus Christ
