SAILING!!!

Today is the day the Logos Hope sails, for the first time, a reregistered passenger ship and ready to bring knowledge, help and hope to the nations of the world. I didn't really feel the excitement of this historic event until the mooring lines where released and we heaved off the quayside. What a moment!!
On Sunday of this week we needed a miracle to be able to sail, we still had outstanding documents and insurance matters to take care of. We prayed. On Monday we were "grounded" by the Danish Authorities who would not let us leave to Sweden until we had some Danish required paperwork. We prayed. On Tuesday we resigned to the fact that we would have to wait the 2 to 6 weeks it would take for all the paperwork to come through. We prayed. On Wednesday morning, all the paperwork had gone through, we had fuel in our tanks and the Swedish port was ready for us! We Praised.
God is constantly creating miracles. He is a provider when there seems to be no way. Please join me in giving thanks to the awesome God who made all this possible.
Today we are sailing.
We are off to Sweden for the weekend. You can keep track of us and see where in the world we are with the following link:
