God bless,

Joseph S. Blatter, President of FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association), paid a personal visit to the Africa Mercy to witness its life-transforming work with his own eyes.

“I was not only deeply impressed, but also touched by the care Mercy Ships is giving these poor people and how well you are organized. I am touched by the hope and courage given to those you are serving,” President Blatter remarked.

Africa Mercy Managing Director, Donovan Palmer, noted that, “Football is at the heart of many in Africa. So, to have the President of FIFA stop in and give his best wishes to crew and to see patients is an incredible blessing. It has been an extraordinary surprise visit.”
