Whitney Grant: Senior Director, HR Operational Effectiveness One little Facebook video was all it took to start Whitney Grant on a journey that she never would have expected! Happily working in her corporate HR job in the United States, Whitney was involved in her church and had a great community of friends — she was not looking for a major life change. But watching a Mercy Ships video that her friend posted on social media opened Whitney’s heart to something unexpected. Whitney came to Mercy Ships with 10 years of HR experience, and she was surprised when her new job on board brought challenges that she never faced in corporate America. Whitney recalled, “I had become comfortable and on cruise control. But on the ship, I was challenged immediately.” In this episode, Whitney not only shares about her personal time on board, but she also shares how you can have your own life changing experience with Mercy Ships! Whitney answers questions about how to volunteer, what to expect in the application process, as well as current priority positions. From getting to grow professionally and personally, to living in a community of people from all over the world – you too, can find your place on board! If you’ve ever wondered how you can join this amazing mission, this episode is for you!

A world of great Christian audio is just around the corner
One of the things we’re called to do as Christians is love others. So, what does it mean to be like Jesus and follow his command to make disciples of others? One way is to help others in their place of need and find ways to share the good news of Jesus. That’s what mission’s week is all about. Sharing stories of people like you who bless and are blessed by helping others and pointing them to our Lord. Find out more about giving or going on mission by heading to www.missionsweek.org.uk
