Flowers!

We bought 2 plants in Tenerife for the cabin. After coaxing them through life with 1 small window and air conditioning one of them has started flowering! (Hannah's the plant expert in this family so praise to her :)).

Little things in life.

Faithful



Everyone thank you for your prayers!
We had an incredibly successful screening day on Monday. They whole crew, including the Academy, got involved and about 3500 potential patients were seen.
These days are always pretty hectic as a lot of people come through our site and line up for hours. But God was faithful and the people that we could help turned up; surgeries start tomorrow!

I will post more pictures of the screening as they are made available by our communication department.

God bless,
Ben

Prayer point

Just a quick message to add a prayer point. Tomorrow is the Mercy Ships Screening Day here in Conakry.
Basically it is the day where the whole ship runs a massive logistical puzzle and we try to see as many possible patients as we can and allocate surgery dates to this that we can.
There is always a lots of stressing and worries involved in the screenings. So I ask for your prayers for all the crew as we seek to serve the Guinean nation tomorrow and pray that the people that God has in store for us to minister to will turn up at the site.
Thank you already!

God bless,
Ben
