Project Time

While the ship was in Sweden she was able to go into dry dock, get a new coat of paint, a new generator and all ship's company working 6 days a week to get her ready for ministry and her passenger certificate. It's amaxing to see how much has already been finished since I boarded her in November. We have a completed dining room, most nooks and kranies have had rust removed and fresh paint, the engine room is clean, all of deck 4 has flooring, we have two stages now and much more coming soon!
There is a rush to get things finished for two reasons:
1. We are hoping to get our Passenger Sailing Certifiacte in August. This would make us an official passenger ship and we would be able to sail with full ship's company and guest. All the practical living spaces of the ship much be completed, we need carpet on the stairs, and an overall look and feel that doesn't say, "we live in a construction zone".
2. To start ministry. The whole purpose of OM Ships is to bring Knowledge, Help, and Hope to the nations of the world. No matter where we go or who we meet, we always have an opportunity for ministry. But to use this vessel to her fullest potental we want to have a working Experience Deck, where guest will come aboard to ship for books, learn about Jesus, chit chat with crew members and walk away with that, "there's something different about these people and I want it" feeling.
Please pray that the work can continue at a steady speed. That we can pass our certificates. That ministry will still happen, even if it's not organized on board the ship.

Praises for what's already been completed, no major work-related injuries, and for the large donations to help with the completion of deck 4 and the engine room.
We still need skilled people for the rest of summer... if you know any carpenters, welders or carpet layers,and plumbers who would like to spend a couple months in Denmark, let them know about the Logos Hope Project!
