Preamble

We are a family of three; Andrew, Jodie and Jessica (aged 18) from Tasmania, Australia who are currently serving in Douala, Cameroon, Central Africa on the M/V Africa Mercy, the largest non-governmental hospital ship in the world, through Mercy Ships International. God has called us on a journey that has been many years in the making. For this season we call Africa home, as we seek to bring hope and healing to the poorest of the poor.

The famillies return to the ship!





What a day this was! We had waited 4 years for this moment! This is my first time on the Africa Mercy. Jess and I are in reception waiting to get our security badges. We had a wonderful welcome. There was a large sign hanging from deck 7 railings welcoming back families and crew from Applesbosch and all the flags of the nations represented on board. It was a very emotional scene and I certainly shed a few tears. Also I hadn't seen Andrew for 6 days! The Captian sounded the ship's horn each time the buses and landrovers pulled up.
