This blog follows the journey of John, Melissa, Doug & Donna from Marvin United Methodist Church (Tyler, Texas) on a mission to the Africa Mercy. The Africa Mercy, Mercy Ships flagship, is the world's largest non govermental hospital ship that is currently docked in Togo, West Africa.

Leaving On A Jet Plane

The day is finally here! In just a few hours we will begin our journey which we take us from Tyler to Dallas to Paris, France and finally to Lome, Togo. The ship is docked in Lome. Several people have asked about the time difference. Togo is 5 hours ahead of Texas (and isn't that a nifty clock on the website?).

Thanks to everyone for their prayers, notes, calls, emails and support. All of our team takes your love with us to share with the people in Africa.

In hope and faith,
Melissa

  1. We'll be praying for a safe journey the next 2 days. It feels like I am leaving on this journey today with you all. Thanks for the updates. I really look forward to what you all are saying. Jill
