Given by 29 generous donors in 12 weeks

With YOUR help many lives will be transformed!

Auckland

I first heard about Mercy Ships as a nursing student while I was at university and immediately my heart was set on being a part of something bigger than myself. Since then, I have been longing for a chance to go. I have recently been offered the incredible opportunity to serve on board Mercy Ships for three weeks in Conakry, Guinea.

Mercy Ships was founded in 1978 and is a global charity that seeks to help some of the world's poorest people. Mercy Ships provide free medical and surgical health care where healthcare is non-existent or completely unaffordable. They provide surgeries for maxillofacial, plastic reconstructive, orthopaedics, womens health, general surgeries, eye care as well as dental care.

I hope to bring my theatre nurse skills and knowledge to help the citizens in Guinea.

Mercy Ships is completely voluntary and I would be immensely grateful for prayer and donations towards my mission trip. I will be serving from 11th November 2018 to 1st December 2018 and will be required to fund the following:

Flights: Approximately $3,000

Immunisations: Approximatey $1000

Crew fees: Approximately $700

Mission:

We follow the 2000-year-old model of Jesus, bringing hope and healing to the forgotten poor.

Vision:

Mercy Ships uses hospital ships to transform lives and serve nations, one at a time.

Core Values:

Desiring to follow the model of Jesus, we seek to:

We love God.

We love and serve others.

We are people of integrity.

We strive for excellence in all we say and do.

Hey guys,

Just another quick update.
