Bringing hope and healing with Mercy Ships
It was the first week of business school at Thunderbird School of Global Management, and you could see the eager anticipation on all the faces that came pouring into the AT&T auditorium. Dressed up in our best business suits and toting matching portfolios carrying dozens of resumes securely under our arms, we excitedly took our seats to listen to one of our first presentations in this new era of our lives. As we waited patiently for the presentation to start, a kind looking man with brilliant white hair named Don Stephens walked to the podium and started speaking about an organization called Mercy Ships and its mission to bring hope and healing to the forgotten poor by mobilizing people and resources worldwide.

The journey of the Dronning Ingrid
Imagine you are the Dronning Ingrid: a rail ferry that chugs across the Baltic Sea connecting Danish islands. You are content, your flat bottom sails smoothly across the sea, transporting your cargo. Then they build a road....a road that connects your two islands, and you’re just not so popular anymore... and suddenly there is hope for you.

Satisfying Work In A Country Of Have Nots
Aboard a three-month Mercy Ship mission, Nick cared for West African people who suffer from terrible living conditions and difficult access to health care. "I saw pretty quickly that Liberia was a country that has been wracked by civil war for 14 years. It was clear I had come from the land of ‘haves’ to a country of ‘have-nots’," says the 46-year-old.
