Connections: A Mercy Ships Update

We have updated the look and feel of the Alumni Report and proudly offer it to you. In our latest webisode, our host, Dr. Andy Rosson, continues to bring us news from the unique world of Mercy Ships. This month, he brings us news from Tenerife, interviews Donna Rayborn - an Alum who recently returned from a Mercy Team trip and concludes with Sam Smith, CEO explaining our goals for the Africa Mercy's next field service in Togo.
