Prayer List Please take time today to offer prayer for those on our list and on your heart.

June Mission: Mercy Ships
Mercy Ships, a global charity, has operated a fleet of hospital ships in developing nations since 1978. Following the example of Jesus, Mercy Ships, bring hope and healing to the poor, mobilizing people and resources worldwise. Mercy Ships' volunteer doctors perform life-changing surgeires on the floating hospitals and operate village clinics near the ports. Other volunteers provide clean water by drilling wells and providing water pumps. Construction projects, such as building hospitals and basic housing, and agricultural projects help communities become self-sufficient in food production. Mercy Ships bring hope and healing to the poor.
