It's Week 4 on the Global Mercy... And... (Hum it with us) It's the Final Countdown.

Did you hum it? Did you? We hope you did. If not, here you go: Music Video (Hopefully there aren't too many ads before it plays.)

If you did hum it, "Yay!" We like people like you. We like you if you didn't too, but it's more fun when you learn to have fun and enjoy life. At least that's what our spouses keep telling us. 🤣

Speaking of people who are having fun and enjoying life, we thought we'd introduce you to the team filming Season 2 on the Global Mercy.

From left to right:

Ross - Camera, Matt - Segment Producer/Director, Mark - Audio, Will - Camera, Brea - DIT (Digital Imaging Tech), Jessica - Segment Producer/Director, Jeremy - Camera/Stills, Kevin - Audio, Phil - Camera, Vanessa - Producer, and Julie - Production Manager.

Not pictured is the series creator Tracy Trost, because he's the one taking the picture. Somebody's got to do it, so thanks Tracy.

The crew has had a tremendous time filming the inspiring stories, volunteers, and patients who you'll meet in Season 2.

We've got so much more behind the scenes pics and videos to share over the coming months as we work on getting Season 2 ready, so be sure to follow us here:

We're so excited for this next season of the series and the opportunity to share the work of Mercy Ships with even more people.

Can you help us out?

This series, and these amazing stories are only possible because of the support of people like you.

Can you take a few minutes today to go to our Facebook page and Instagram profile and share some of the posts there with your friends, family, and that kid from elementary school who follows you and you feel bad about unfriending so you let them keep following you. 😉

And if you can, tell someone IRL as the kids say, about the show.

Have a conversation with someone about what it means to serve others. Ask if they think they could ever volunteer onboard one of the ships. Who knows what might come from a simple conversation.

And that's really what this show is about. Planting seeds in people's lives that doing something bigger than ourselves is more possible than we think.

Maybe you'll wake up one day in the not so distant future onboard one of the Mercy Ships and it'll because of this email, or one of the episodes, or a conversation with a friend.

Nothing would make us more excited or grateful.

Another great team photo, this time with Tracy 😁

Thank you...

Thank you for being a part of this adventure to spread the word about Mercy Ships and make the world a better place in the process.

We are truly grateful for you!

Livestream event is getting closer on the horizon...

Still no official date on when the Livestream will air on Angel, but we are aiming to record it this Friday onboard and there will be a chance for more people to win some of those cool, "binge supporting Mercy Ships" t-shirts so stay tuned.

With great thanks,

The Mercy Ships Series Crew
