Alfredo was too malnourished for surgery when we first met him. His cleft lip had made it impossible for him to nurse. Through our feeding program, he gained strength — and today his cleft lip is repaired! Now, a future full of smiles awaits 🥰 #HopeAndHealing #FreeSurgery

What makes volunteering with Mercy Ships different? Ask the surgeons who give their time and expertise to serve where access to surgery is limited. It’s not just about operating. This is surgery with purpose. #MercyShips #VolunteerSurgeon #GlobalHealth #HopeAndHealing

We seek to love God, love and serve others, demonstrate integrity, and strive for excellence in all we do. We are Mercy Ships
