Please join us in prayer for several important needs:

​

• Africa Mercy Crew – The ship is undergoing an extended 4-month maintenance period in Durban, South Africa. Families will be living ashore during this time, and the Academy will begin a “land-based” school in February. The Africa Mercy is scheduled to return to Madagascar in mid-April to continue its mission of bringing hope and healing.

• Global Mercy Crew – Pray for the team as they continue delivering life-changing medical care to the people of Sierra Leone.

• Global Mercy Families – Our ship school is on a 6-week break for the New Year, with classes resuming in late January. During this time, the children will participate in a 3-week Special Program. Please pray for the children and their parents during this transition.

• Our Family – Pray for Warrie and me as we navigate the challenges of parenting teenage girls. 

  • Please pray for Alyssa as she completes 12th grade – that she would experience a positive conclusion to her high school years and begin a solid transition to young adulthood.

  • Pray for Addison to “come to her senses” (just as the “prodigal son” did).  Pray for God’s redemption and reconciliation in our family.

  • Pray that both the girls would come to know Christ individually, place their hope and trust in Him, and embrace their unique identity in Him.

  • Pray for peace, wisdom, and comfort for us as we continue to parent Alyssa and wait on the Lord for areas we can’t “fix.” God is faithful to bind up the brokenhearted, and He is a God of redemption!

Thank you for standing with us in prayer during these significant and challenging times.
