What might have been...

">Just after the crisis in Haiti, Brian started receiving emails requesting his surgical service for the church in conjunction with this ship. Although prepared and ready to go on two different occasions, the mission trip was unfortunately called off. This video is from the World Report and shows the kind of work they do. He hopes to be aboard on one of their future trips. As you watch, look for Mindy. This was taken during their summer tour to Central America where she was called and set apart as a service missionary and worked aboard the ship as a translator.
