Volunteer Medical Supply Assistant
As a civil engineer in Montana, Ben Stewart was enjoying his career. But, with many friends moving away or changing careers, Ben was motivated to make a change himself. Seeking to take a sabbatical, Ben recalled the advice of his aunt and uncle to go volunteer with Mercy Ships. Ben wasn’t how a civil engineer could contribute to needs of a hospital ship, but was surprised to find his skills matched a need on the Africa Mercy.

In this episode Ben tells us how he used his problem-solving degree, why he’s convinced he had the “best job” on the ship, and how he learned a valuable life lesson while volunteering on board. Ben’s joy is infectious and the enthusiasm in his voice will put a smile on your face!
