The Mercy Ships

Joshua is invited to a patient’s wedding as a medical emergency involving a crew member breaks out on board.

Wedding Bells and Sirens

As Dieke and Raximo’s song takes shape, carpenters Cameron and George race to keep pace—balancing creativity, craftsmanship, and a deadline that waits for no one.

Building Hope and Healing

Anton and Daniel brave the waters beneath the ship, risking it all to complete a critical dive. Meanwhile, Connor ventures into town on a different mission—hunting for the right wood to craft a meaningful wedding gift for Joshua. As each man takes on his task, purpose and camaraderie guide their efforts above and below the surface.

Dives and Drives

Sarah and Thomas are finally reunited, while Connor and LeAnne take the Youth Group ashore for Beach Day—until unexpected rain threatens to derail their plans.

Reunions and Celebrations

When alarms sound, Captain O’Shea rallies the fire response team in a critical onboard drill. Meanwhile, children from the local blind school arrive to perform Dieke and Raximo’s song for patients recovering on the ship. As safety training unfolds alongside heartfelt music, the day becomes a powerful mix of preparation, resilience, and hope.

Only God Can Do It

Step aboard the world’s two largest civilian-run hospital ships and meet the incredible international volunteers bringing hope and healing to coastal Africa. This behind-the-scenes journey reveals what it’s like to live and work on a hospital ship, facing tears, trials, setbacks, and triumphs. From life-changing surgeries to moments of everyday courage, experience the powerful stories of compassion and perseverance that unfold at sea.

Lights, Camera, Surprise

After settling into ship life in Madagascar, Sarah and Thomas finally take a break for a much-needed date night ashore. Meanwhile, the Moore family journeys to Toamasina to visit Neddy’s home, stepping into the rhythms and stories of everyday life in Madagascar. From quiet connection to cultural exchange, it’s a day that reminds the crew of the deeper relationships formed on and off the ship.

Family Ties and Date Night

Change is in the air as a member of the ship’s security team prepares to say goodbye. Gerrit and his son work together on a heartfelt farewell gift, honoring the friendships built on board. Meanwhile, Anton takes Breanna beneath the surface—literally—by teaching her how to dive. It’s a day of goodbyes, new skills, and the quiet moments that make ship life unforgettable.

The Gift of Love

As the ship gets ready to leave port, Daniel and the security team sweep each deck in a final search for stowaways. Meanwhile, Jean Marie and Mino begin preparing for a spirited soccer match between the day crew and volunteers. With high stakes on and off the field, it’s a day of teamwork, preparation, and one last connection before setting sail.

Stowaways vs Soccer
