Launching
the Global Mercy
Kiwis making a lasting difference in a world of need
Come on board the Global Mercy as we're introduced to the Kiwis, young and old, who live on the world’s largest – and newest – civilian hospital ship. These are just some of the New Zealanders who fill a wide variety of roles in the Mercy Ships volunteer crew, dedicated to serving Africa’s marginalised and vulnerable, in Jesus’ name.

Spending 3 years teaching the crew children on our hospital ships is a remarkable second career for Judy.
