Our day-crew is a vital part of our hospital ship operation.  Day-crew members come from the countries we serve.  Listen as a crew member describes a special moment.

Brian Ivie was a film student when he heard about Pastor Lee’s Baby Box – a large mail box that was a rescue place for unwanted babies.

A large mail drop box is set into the wall of Pastor Lee’s laundry room in South Korea.  When the buzzer sounds, he rushes to the box and lifts out …a baby.  The Baby Box is a place of rescue for unwanted and disabled infants.

People are really much alike – even when they’re separated by an ocean.  Katie Callow, a volunteer Mercy Ships photographer, noticed one similarity at a patient screening in Benin.

One of the Mercy Ships surgical specialties is obstetric fistula repair.  Many women suffer incontinence from this childbirth injury caused by obstructed labor.

A well-known childhood saying is “Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you.”  Well, it’s not true.  The pen is truly mightier than the sword when it comes to inflicting emotional damage.

Wendy Richmond is a granny who loves adventure and mercy!  She’s celebrated her birthdays by wing-walking, parachuting, ballooning and ziplining – all to raise funds for her favorite charities.

Brittany Blake volunteers as a nurse anesthetist on our hospital ship, the Africa Mercy.  At the age of 14, a crisis in her 17-year-old brother’s life set her on a course of mercy.

The police in Rome, Italy, responded to a call that crying had been heard coming from an apartment.  They found an elderly Italian couple in tears … from loneliness.  Many of their neighbors were away on vacation, and they felt isolated.

Robyn Porep volunteered as a physical therapist onboard our hospital ship in Madagascar.  She watched patients work hard to fully recover and loved being a part of their healing.
