Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For the last two years I have had the great privilege to serve with Mercy Ships as the IS Manager on the Africa Mercy.   

The Africa Mercy is the world’s largest non-governmental hospital ship and provides medical care free of charge to some of the world’s poorest people. I will be moving to Texas to serve with Mercy Ships at their International Operations Centre.  I will be assisting with the development of operational and business processes that will support our growing organisation. I am very excited about this opportunity and hope that I can make a positive contribution to the mission of this great organisation.

One of the great features of Mercy Ships is that those who serve are mostly volunteers. This enables the organisation to focus on delivering free services to those who needs it most.  

Please help me raise funds to support this amazing charity and help bring hope and healing to the world's forgotten poor. Any financial support would help me and Mercy Ships to carry out their wonderful work, but most of all we also need your support in prayer. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Mercy Ships is an international charity that provides free medical and humanitarian services to the people of Africa using its hospital ship, the Africa Mercy. In the developing world, lack of access to basic health care can have horrific results. Mercy Ships freely provides relief to the forgotten poor - saving lives, improving quality of life and restoring hope. The Africa Mercy is the world's largest non-governmental hospital ship - staffed with volunteer doctors, nurses, engineers and agriculturists - that visits ports in some of the world's poorest countries. Doctors, surgeons and nurses onboard provide free medical and surgical services, while off ship teams help local communities develop sustainable water, sanitation and education programmes.
