It's Monday morning and there is a different feeling aboard ship. It is a workday. Many of the people came to breakfast in scrubs ready for medical work. I had breakfast with the senior chaplain who is a Salvation Army minister from Australia. He cares for the spiritual needs of the crew.
Last night's fellowship with the West African crew was amazing. About thirty crew members from various countries in Africa joined us for a time of fellowship. I had a nice conversation with Ebenezer and Comfort, a delightful couple from Ghana. He is an engineer on board and she works with the dental clinic as a discipler. He works down in the engine room while she talks with dental patients discussing dental hygiene and spiritual faith.
Today we will be visiting the hospital for the first time and will get to observe a surgery. We will also get to visit with the patients in the ward and hand out some of the Teddy bears that traveled with us in our luggage.
God is at work and we are privileged to have a front row seat. Worshipping with people from over 35 nations last night at Sunday evening devotions was a wonderful way to end Pentecost day.
Grace and Peace,
Doug
