The ship's journalist wrote a short piece on us and we wanted to share it with you. She is in the process of creating a brochure for our ship that will be used when we go to the UK and our story will be featured!
John and Jennifer Ashford (28) (USA)
When John and Jennifer Ashford (USA) met, John had a dream of sailing around the world to bring help and hope to the people he met. Jennifer told him of OM Ships and years later, after they'd been married for a year, they left successful lives in California to volunteer on Logos Hope. John was a swimming coach and had just finished his studies in kinesthesiology and Jennifer worked in non-profit organisations. On the ship, they were assigned to the cleaning team, affectionately referred to as the "Angels." Jennifer said, "Both of us have learned a lot about servanthood being Angels. We really came to serve. In my head, we came to serve with the work experience and knowledge that we had; but no, we came physically to serve the people on the ship. I think God has been teaching us a lot about what being a servant means."

Isaiah 63:7
I will tell of the kindnesses of the Lord, the deeds for which He is to be praised, according to all the Lord has done for us - yes the many good things He has done... according to His compassion and many kindnesses.
Psalm 57:9-11
I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of You among the peoples. For great is Your love, reaching to the heavens; You faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let Your glory be over all the earth.

PRAY
Prayer is at the core of all we do on the Logos Hope. Over and above our own efforts, we recognize that it is only God's hand upon us and upon all we do that will move us forward. Challenges and needs surface from time to time (sometimes more often than we would like!), and we need to continually bring these requests before God's throne of grace.
GIVE
Every gift, big or small, helps us keep the Logos Hope in operation. There are various ways you, your church, or your business can give – through financial donation or sponsorship of equipment, tools and resources that we need to outfit the ship. See the Giving section of the Logos Hope's website for more details.
GO
Short and long term volunteers of all ages, and with different skills are needed to staff the Logos Hope and help complete the ship’s renovations. Are you interested? Check out the Join The Crew section of the ship's website.
