numbers & such

It's always fun to have final reports and numbers to share.  Thought you'd like to celebrate with us....

During the Guinea 2012/13 field service, the Africa Mercy has had:
  •  237 Long-Term Crew (including kids)
  • 572 Short-Term Crew
  • 196 Guests and Visiting Staff (includes Mercy Teams, Vision Teams, Media Teams, Personal Guests, and visiting staff from IOC & National Offices)
  • 25 Contract Workers
  • We have also employed a total of 224 Day Workers onboard this field service.

That’s a total of 1254 unique individuals that have served onboard the AFM over the past 10 months!

And, the incredible thing?  Our God knows every single name...He knows every single heart...He called each one to come here and He accomplished His purposes through them.  He had work for each to do while the Africa Mercy was in Conakry, Guinea.  Each one played a part in God's work of bringing hope and healing through this vessel. 

Because these 1254 individuals were obedient,  God has accomplished much...
 
 
Other Incredible Numbers:
13,483 - Eye Evaluations & Treatments
45,168 - Dental Procedures
10,537 - People ministered to through Mercy Ministries
192 - Bibles distributed
3,835 - Individual Counseling session with a Hospital Chaplain

And, the incredible thing? Our God knows the name of every single patient (and He even knows how to pronounce it correctly!)...He knows every single heart...He sees every man, woman and child that was blessed by the presence of the Africa Mercy in Conakry.  Each one played a part in God's work by receiving the hope and healing He offered through this vessel.
 
There are more numbers and stats available - let us know if you're interested, we can email you a Programs Report.
 
And a quote from our friend Missy's facebook page (she's been the OR Supervisor this Field Service): 
"Thanks to all of you who have lifted up prayers and offered words of encouragement and blessing throughout these last 10 months we have been here in the country of Guinea!! All Glory, Honor, and Praise belong to the Lord for the amazing field service it has been here, even in the difficult times. These words from Ephesians 3:20, "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!" Amen." sum up what we have continued to see over and over and BELIEVE. Our God is the God of the impossible!!!!!"
 
To God be the Glory, GREAT things HE has done.  Much good has been done in Guinea...
 
Surely there will be more to come.
