Don't ask, just don't ask!!!!

Yeah, again my plans have been changed.

After my last announcement where I was bouncing off the walls with excitement about flying out to Ghana to work on the Anastasis and finally get to do what God had told me I was going to do 9 years ago, things have changed. Doors have closed and obstacles have come in the way to prevent me from getting to Africa as soon as I had thought. Yeah, I know what some of you guys are thinking that have been reading this blog and know me for the last 18 months - you've heard this kinda thing before haven't you?!

So the current flexible plan at the moment is to carry on working in Newcastle on the Africa Mercy till it is finished and sail MY ship to Africa, whenever that will be. I kinda feel peace about this, as this is the ship I have been working on and it is MY crew that I know and love and I get to spend more time involved with NCLC – MY Church.

Please pray for me at this time as I settle back into the mindset that I won’t be heading for Africa as soon as I thought

The new dates for the ship is to leave the UK for Africa on Easter Sunday (which will be my 11th Bday as a Christian) and so we need to leave our current shipyard about 6 weeks before that.

We have our Inclination Test this weekend – which is a very important test to see how stable our ship is and how much Cargo we can carry to Africa – so please keep this in prayer. Then we will be having Sea Trials sometime late February. So yeah we will be having lots of exciting things going down soon.

One really exciting thing that has happened recently is that yesterday we installed our final lifeboats on the ship so I’ll have to get some photos on my blog of how the ship looks now.

Keep safe you all and yeah please keep in touch – in you haven’t got my contact details leave a comment and I’ll get back to you.

Love ya

Paul
