Every year Mercy Ships releases the statistics from the field service. The numbers are always astounding. More than I could ever imagine. I look at the numbers and try to put a physical value to it. Like the 45,000 teeth procedures we did this year. I compare it to everybody in Festus (my home town) getting a procedure. And when I see the patients on the ship and see how much we can change one persons life it gives these numbers so much more meaning. So when strolling through the list try to imagine how many peoples lives have been changed for the Glory of God.
Thank you on behalf of all of these people for what you do to support me while with Mercy Ships
