On my way to Togo...


With 2010 has come the renewed passion and desire on my heart to return to the Africa Mercy Ship which is currently located in Togo. For those who do not know anything about Mercy Ships it is a complete Surgical Hospital (6 Operating Rooms&4 wards with a 76 bed capacity)that carries Hope and Healing to the World's poorest. Mercy Ships docks into a country on the coast of Africa for 10 months and during this time gives out free operations to the people showing them God's love freely.

This year we will be in Togo, West Africa for 6 months as the ship is sailing in August to have new generators fitted in South Africa. I am returning in April for 4 months-I have worked hard and paid for my ticket to get there however I am now fundraising (running a marathon in March) to raise money for my living costs while I am there. Mercy Ships is a Non-Government funded Christian Organisation that continues with support and donations from businesses, individuals and companies all over the world. Last year I volunteered 6 months to go onboard and this year I will be there for 4 months. If you would like to support me financially my account details are as follows:

I would also really appreciate any words of encouragment and will do my best to keep updated on what is happening in West Africa:) Thankyou for taking the time to read this!
