Connections:November 2010

Come with us as we take another close look at the unique world of Mercy Ships. Recently the National Directors of the fifteen Mercy Ships National Offices around the world met in the organizations International Operations Center in Texas. We asked Don Stephens, Mercy Ships Founder and President, to update us on how these meetings went. While the Africa Mercy is in South Africa, Mercy Ships is increasing access to mental health care for the citizens of South Africa by enhancing the capacity of the church to meet the mental health needs of their parishioners and local communities through a capacity building initiative called Restoring Hope. Dr. Lyn Westman, Mental Health Program Administrator for Mercy Ships explained it for us.
