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.

Academy Open Night


Last month the Africa Mercy Academy opened it's doors to the crew for it's Academy Open Night and Creative Arts Fair. Usually the Acadmey is off limits to the crew so it provided a great opportunity for crew to see all the wonderful things the children have been doing, get a glipmse inside the classrooms and look at their amazing artwork on display. The evening began with musical items in Town Square from the handbell and recorder groups and the choir and a drama from the high school girls who have been learning sign language. Above are Jess and friends performing their handbells item "Jesus Loves Me".
