“Dear Moise,
Your heart for Africa’s poor has made Mercy Ships history. After 40 years dedicated to following the model of Jesus by bringing hope and healing, today we celebrate a milestone that you are an important part of: The 100,000th surgical procedure!
Over all of these years and procedures, the common theme in every volunteer, is a desire to share heart and hands, giving so much of yourself to patients—all to demonstrate love to people whom you’ve never met before.
Only hours ago, a volunteer carried baby Aissata, a sweet 7 month old little girl, into the operating room. Another one made sure the anesthesia and instruments were in order. Still another made an incision and more will care for them for days to come. Other crew members will prepare their meals with love, and the technical crew will keep it all running. All over the ship, volunteers are praying and thanking our wonderful God for the privilege of serving. Many hands and hearts are involved in every journey to hope and healing and her brand new smile will live in each one of them—this is the legacy that you’ve helped to create.
God has allowed us to be a part of His amazing plan. I am grateful and humbled to be on this journey together.
Celebrating your service…recognizing the 100,000 surgical procedures done—and trusting God for 100,000 more to come!
With Gratitude,
Don Stephens
Founder
P.S. Have you ever wondered how much more we could do with another, brand new ship? Stay tuned: We may see you back on board…”
