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.

Spectacular!


This is our view every night. We are blessed to watch this magnificant display of God's glory as the sky is painted with splashes of gold, orange and pink. This night was particularly amazing and the stern of the ship on deck 8 was crowded with crew trying to capture the moment on camera. Of course a photo only depicts so much and the sunsets are far more spectacular live. But hopefully you can catch a glimpse of the beauty of the sunsets that cast a jewel over the dirt and grime of Freetown.
