...Mercy Ships CEO Sam Smith Sends Us Off With A Note Of Encouragement...Thank you Sam! :)
Subject Line:
Godspeed and Thank YOU!
Africa Mercy Crew,
The past 6+ months in Togo have now come to an end. It is a time of sadness, yet celebration, for all that we have been able to accomplish in God’s name. Lives have been saved and the futures of so many Togolese people are brighter because of your efforts. The final statistics are being computed and analyzed and we will be providing this data to you when it is finished. Please know, preliminary information shows this to have been a very successful Field Service and you should be commended for overcoming all the challenges thrown your way to make this Field Service a success! Well done, everyone!
We are now at sea and that gives us some time to begin preparations for our South Africa visit. There have been many people working hard behind the scenes to make our initiatives come off with minimal impact on our Crew. That being said, you should be prepared for some challenges as we enter Durban and began to transition Crew ashore. We would ask that you be prepared and ready to provide some grace to our team as they will have many unforeseen challenges arise during this time. Hopefully, we can all stay focused on how great life will be once the ship has new generators, master control unit, new air conditioning ☺ (YES!), etc. Our National Offices and IOC Resource Development teams are still hard at work trying to pay for all of this and we do ask you to continue to pray for funding to come forth to keep us from incurring additional debt. We are so close to retiring the debt on the original note for the Africa Mercy and we know that God continues to shine light on the efforts to secure this funding. We must stay focused and do our part in this effort, reassured by the fact that HE will provide the rest. We serve an awesome, God!
On behalf of the Mercy Ships organization world wide, God Bless and Thank YOU for your service to the poor! Smooth sailing!
- Sam
