SBC Mercy Team are here

A Mercy Team from Stopsley Baptist Church (our home church in the UK) are here with us right now. Much like the Mission Challenge that I joined in 2002 which started our time in missions, these guys are living off-ship but travel to the Africa Mercy daily to work with the crew, and they also spend some time ashore visiting orphanages, construction projects etc. Last night we had the team plus staff for dessert - from left to right clockwise Tony, Sally, Charis, Libby, Derek, Joy, Nari, Kristen, Dierdre, and Jenny. (Anthea missing from photo). Visitors from our home church are a real blessing to us; they bring us encouragement and news of church life, and we really enjoy their company. We still have four more working days and an action planned weekend ahead of us.

More photos later. Olly
