Liberia Again 2007
We started our outreach with screening for the eye clinic and surgery started this week for the clef plates of about 20 this week. Surgeries are a big part of the out reach and we are ready to supply the Liberian people with pently of good care.
The Africa Mercy will be starting her sea trails this week and then she will sail down to us. We are expecting her to arrive the middle of May. Transfering from one ship to the other will be the biggest part of the transition and many are being cued on how to do this professionally, making this as smooth as possible. After eight years from the start, this journey I am delighted to part of the ending. I am looking forward to the day she sails into port here and docking along side of the Anastasis. The pictures will be great with the two worlds largest hospital ships along side of each other. Our new ship will have 6 operating theaters and 88 beds, better to serve the needs of Africa and her needs of the future.
Please keep us here in your prayers as we move into the future. Points of prayer: Keeping our health good throughout the transisation. Africa Mercy to pass all her tests and arrive on time. That the crew on board be blessed with good health That the people of Liberian continue to live in peace and that the country be renewed in the promise of peace forever.
