Season 2 is closer than you think!

This week, Tracy J Trost (Creator of The Mercy Ships) was in Nashville at the National Religious Broadcaster's conference meeting with old friends and making new ones as we continue to distribute Season 1 and get ready for Season 2 to be released in just four more months.

While he didn't do any boot scootin' boogies, meetings were scheduled with various broadcasters here in the states and around the world as we keep working to get Season 1 out to as many people as possible in as many ways as possible.

Stay tuned for new ways for you, your family, and your friends to see Season 1.

But like we said above, Season 2 is only 4 months away on Angel. That means each episode is about to go through the Guild so that it can be streamed on Angel in June by everyone!

So, if you don't want to wait until June, then read this next part carefully...

To see it before June, you just gotta be an Angel Guild Member, then keep an eye out in the Guild Section (see image below) for each episode as it's made available for voting.

We'll tell you here as well when we start uploading the episodes, and it won't be much longer now. Because once they reach the total votes needed, they go away and you don't want to miss it and have to wait until June!

Also, if you're asking our opinion on what level membership to get, we recommend the Premium Guild option because you get 2 free movie tickets to EVERY Angel movie in theaters, and who doesn't love free movie tickets?!?

When you add it up, the tickets cover the cost of the subscription, so either way you look at it, you win :)

Get signed up, keep an eye out, and we look forward to sharing Season 2 with you and the other amazing people who make up the Angel Guild!

Did you see our Volunteer Spotlight this week?

We all know how amazing Captain O'Shea is and was during Season 1 of The Mercy Ships, and we're so happy he's back in Season 2, but...

There's also going to be another Captain making his debut in Season 2 and it's Captain Neil, and we couldn't be happier.

He's making his way back to serve with Mercy Ships again on the Africa Mercy and taking over for Captain O'Shea.

You can see some of the footage from Season 2 about this with in our Volunteer Spotlight on Instagram or Facebook and see what it takes for an official Captain switchover coming to Season 2.

You don't want to miss this season!

Can you help the recovery in Madagascar?

Last week we told you about the impact Cyclone Gezani made on Madagascar, making landfall directly over the city where Mercy Ships serves.

Our friends, the Carlstrom family are there now and helping out with the recovery. You can follow along and see what they're doing on their Facebook page here.

And while we know not everyone can help, we also know some can, so if that's you, please use this link to learn more and give whatever you can.

And whether you can give or not, everyone can spread the word to others you know who might be able to help, so please share those links far and wide.

With great thanks,

The Mercy Ships Series Crew
