As founder Don Stephens reflects gratefully on 45 years of Mercy Ships, he sees growth beyond what he could have imagined. While the organization continues to expand, he says what’s most important is to stay true to the core values: Love God, love and serve others, be people of integrity, and strive for excellence. “When we see what God is doing and will continue to do, my hope is that we will have a small but significant part in the kingdom growth in the continent of Africa,” Don said.
