Isaiah 56:3 "And make sure no physically mutilated person is ever made to think, "I'm damaged goods. I don't really belong."
...and was overwhelmed by the fact that we're living on a ship where the Truth of that verse is lived out on a daily basis.
Over and over and over the patients on the Africa Mercy are told and shown and reminded that they are NOT damaged goods. They are NOT worthless. They belong. They are loved. They are treasured. They are valuable.
As am I. As are you.
Want to read about just a few of the valuable people who have been on the ship lately - some as patients, some as guests, some as crew? Here are a few links for your reading pleasure (and for the encouragement of your heart):
- A little bit about Benjamine (pictured above) from Ana and another look at Benjamine from Catherine
- A look into life on D Ward from Deb Louden
- A visit from Sassou Nguesso according to Mrs. Emma
- A look into life from Jordan & Katie's perspective
- Beautiful words from our beautiful hairdresser Jasmine & her thoughts about another special lady
Surely there will be more to come.
