The Durham Cathedral
We spent the day in Durham and enjoyed learning more about the Cathedral with Rebecca. Make sure your sound is on and you can hear the bell bong as you play the short video.

Official Announcement on the Caribbean Mercy
"I am pleased to announce that Mercy Ships completed the sale of the Caribbean Mercy on Oct 5, 2006 to a family charitable trust who plans to lease the vessel to CME at Sea Ltd. I appreciate the work done by Jim Paterson and the marine operations department in facilitating this process and am thankful to God for providing a buyer.
CME at Sea Ltd plans to prepare the vessel for service in Central America by adding to the medical facility on board. In addition to offering medical care, they also intend to provide training and continuing education opportunities for US based physicians.The company is currently in negotiations to keep the ship at its present location in Chickasaw to do their preparations.
I am reminded again of the thousands of people who were given hope and healing through this vessel and her dedicated crew."

An unexpected journey to Blyth!
As a normal morning in the office began, we received a call from Phil and Terry that they were in Blyth (where we will be moving the ship for loading) and needed the keys to the forklift! So Pat and I located the keys and headed up to Blyth (north up the coast about 15 miles or so). We got up there and the truck driver thought we might have to unload the truck by hand....so we decided to stay to see what was in the truck and if Phil and Terry needed help.

A Floating Miracle for Bawa
To read about the miracle for Bawa, click on the Title Link above. This will bring up a slideshow of the pages. Double click on the pages and then click on the link to open the photo in a new window. Click on all sizes and the page will open large enough for you to read it. The story is worth reading...so give it a try! Esther Biney on the Anastasis wrote the story and it is in it's original form. Some of the pictures are a bit graphic...just so you are aware.
Bawa lived with tumors called Keloids (Scar Tissue that has continued to grow) for ten years. His wife left him and people rejected him. His life was changed with a surgery that removed 8 pounds of Keloid tissue and the love of Christ shown to him by the crew of the Anastasis as he recovered from surgery. To God be the Glory for His mighty work and grace!

Ghana Field Service has begun!
Hello Friends,
We wish you Faith, Hope and Peace! This would seem a nice greeting in itself, but if left to just that, would it cause you to wonder what we actually were trying to say? You know us and know about us, so we believe you understood this greeting to mean:
May your faith in our Lord and savior Jesus Christ be strengthened each day!
May your source of hope be in Jesus and His love for you!
May you have the peace of God that surpasses all understanding each day!
(This photo is from Whitley Bay on the North Sea Coast not too far from where we are here in England)
Sometimes it is easy to write and believe that you are clear in what you are writing, however, at times more of an explanation is needed.

Sometimes it is easy to write and believe that you are clear in what you are writing, however, at times more of an explanation is needed.
We are excited to share with you the awesome experiences we are having. Most of these are expressed in the daily victories that we see and the challenges that lead to the victories.
We hope that by reading our letters you (our prayer warriors, financial supporters and emotional stabilizers) feel a part of our ministry and all that is happening through Mercy Ships by God’s awesome power and plan.
We are currently challenged by having received word of equipment delays which hinder the deployment of the Africa Mercy to Ghana, yet at the same time; we are encouraged by the knowledge that our fellow laborers in Jesus Christ (Anastasis Crew) are in Ghana. The screening and field service have begun!
