We have finished our first day on the ship and it was full of excitement. We spent the day assisting the Benin Olympics which is fun games for the crew (400 persons of all ages) to form teams and do funny games. Each of us was able to not only assist in running the games, we also spent one on one time with individual crew members, visiting about why we came to Benin and mostly listening to their story and journey in coming to Mercy Ship.
 
Sunday is filled with Mercy Ship church in the morning, and the afternoon visiting the local markets. Please pray for us as we interact with local vendors, that they will see Christ in us, and that God loves them deeply.
