Next Stop - The Pelican!!!

From London to Spain for refueling, then onto Sierra Leone. Text message from Ann "...We landed in Spain for fuel. I have met some awesome people on my team. Feeling good but really tired...I am ready!!! :) . There are so many of us experiencing this new thing together which is comforting!" (Comforting for her parents as well!!!)

Annie arrived in Sierra Leone around 2 pm EST. Now it's on  the Pelican water taxi to the Africa Mercy.

Quick Update

Ann is now in the air on her way to London's Heathrow Airport. There was a 1 1/2 delay in D.C. and they had to rush to make their flight to London. (Isn't that unusual!!!)

A Request

Would you consider praying for my daughter Ann as she leaves today for Sierra Leone, Africa today? She will fly to London and then to Freetown. As mentioned in an earlier post, she will be serving the local people on board the ship Africa Mercy which is now docked. To view a slideshow of their arrival in port, please click here.

They are now in the process of patient screening with surgeries to begin just shortly following. Those arriving on board this week will probably hit the ground running. The volunteer crew will spend the next 10 months serving the forgotten poor, providing FREE life-changing surgeries, as well as other medical and dental care to those in desperate need. (Our daughter will only be there until May 12th.)

I will post from time to time updates on her ministry with Mercy Ships. Thanks for joining us as we pray for her, for the others involved in this ministry as well as the local people of Sierra Leone.
