Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

We are currently serving on the Africa Mercy in Taomasina, Madagascar. My current technical role is the Ship's Security Officer. Savanna is currently serving as the primary care giver chaplain while Asher, Eden, and Harper are students in the Mercy Ships Academy. Our mission is to be disciple makers onboard and to live out the gospel by coming alongside men and women from all over the world. We are joined in this mission by other missionaries onboard as well as the local church here in Madagascar. 

Please be praying for us as we work in ministry as a family. The work that the Lord has called us to seems daunting and it is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that we have any hope of furthering the Gospel. If you would like to know more about how to pray for us or what we are doing, please email me (benjamin.hovies@mercyships.org) or Savanna (savanna.hovies@mercyships.org). We would be happy to add you to our newsletter.
