With the every changing life on the m/v Africa Mercy, the one constant is the good-byes. The last few weeks has proven to uphold that fact. We have seen an almost mass exodus of over 200 crew members in the last three weeks. All the scenes are pretty much the same.
Crew gather on the dock to say farwell to their beloved friends.
Joshua and his best ship bud Ethan.
Our friends Barry and Cheryl, whom we first met at Gateway in 2009. We have travelled a long road together!
Sharon and Tim we have shared many adventures in the towns, on the beaches, and at the local pools. We have walked many miles together!
Our ship-daughter Becca and ship-son Greg. God has blessed us with the privilage of seeing the matuaration of a beautiful couple. (Becca was with us at Gateway in 2009 also.)
And of course, precious friends....
Good-byes are never easy...so we try to say "see you again".
1 Thessalonians 1:3 "We [will always] remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ."
