On this adventure, Grace didn’t go alone — she invited her friend Kayla to join her as a teacher in the Academy.In this episode, Grace and Kayla start by telling what it’s been like to volunteer with a dear friend from home. Grace goes on to honestly share the disappointment of initially not getting to serve in Africa due to the pandemic, but the blessings that came because she stayed. She tells about the highlights of still bringing hope and healing to everyday people she met in the Canary Islands and how the mission of Mercy Ships is not confined to West Africa.You will be inspired by this enthusiastic teacher who seeks to share the love of Jesus with her students and to everyone in all situations.For more information about Mercy Ships, go to: mercyships.org Follow us on Instagram: New Mercies Podcast
