Well, after14 days of sailing from Cape Town, early this morning, we arrived in Freetown Sierra Leone. This was our first glimpse of Freetown this morning....
The air had the faint smell of burning fires and the sun began to burn off the mist of the early morning...
On the dock, patiently waiting for our arrival, is our Advance Team, Gateway Group, and various crew members that arrived before the ship. Also there is a band, the Minster of Health and other dignitaries...
Two of our Sierra Leonean crew members present the flag of Sierra Leone to a former patient. (This is Mercy Ships 5th trip to Sierra Leone.)
The crew had been practising the national anthem to bless the country with upon our arrival...
Advertising for our screening on March 7th...
The new view from our window...
Mike on the bridge wing watching the events unfold on the dock...
We now, in honour of the nation we are serving, are flying the flag of Sierra Leone...
May God bless our time here, may we not only bring hope and healing to this nation, but the clear demonstration of God's love and peace...
