One surgery didn’t just change Ifaliana’s health.

It changed how she sees herself.

And now, she returns to what she loves most, swimming, not with fear, but with freedom.

We believe in transparency, honest conversations, and helping you truly understand the work behind the hope and healing.⁣
⁣
So… what do you want to know? We have more episodes coming up!⁣

It’s a great weekend to watch Episode 1 of Season 2 of “The Mercy Ships” and be inspired by the amazing volunteers and inspiring patients.

Plus when you sign up at Angel.com/mercy Angel gives 20% to support Mercy Ships’ mission to bring hope and healing.

And… as a Guild member, Angel shares a % of their monthly revenue with Mercy Ships for every minute you stream the show, so the more you stream, the more Angel gives to Mercy Ships.

When you look at it that way, you aren’t binge watching tv, you’re binge supporting Mercy Ships.

And Episode 1 of Season 2 is a great place to start, then go back and watch Season 1 and support Mercy Ships even more!

It's never "goodbye." It's always, "See you later." ⁣
⁣
Leaving Mercy Ships means saying see you later to a mission that changes lives, to patients you'll never forget, and to a community that quickly becomes family.⁣
⁣
Before every departure, we gather to pray, share hugs, and send our crew home with love, knowing they'll always be part of the Mercy Ships family.⁣
⁣
The ship may sail on, but the friendships, memories, and purpose stay with you wherever you go 💙⁣
⁣
If you've served with Mercy Ships, what will you always carry with you? Tell us in the comments. 👇⁣

It's Friday, and the crew galley is buzzing! 🍜💙⁣
⁣
When people from dozens of countries live together on the same ship, food becomes a way to share culture, traditions, and stories from home.⁣
⁣
In the crew galley, friends come together to teach others how to make some of their traditional recipes, turning an ordinary Friday into an evening of laughter, learning, and connection. ⁣
⁣
It's moments like these that remind us why life on board is so unique. ⁣

“This season proves to me that God exists” 💙⁣

For more than 10 years, Thierry lived with a facial tumor that changed the way others saw him and the way he saw himself.⁣
⁣
When he heard the #AfricaMercy was returning to Madagascar, he chose hope over fear.⁣
⁣
Today, Thierry is back home with renewed confidence and a future full of possibility.⁣

I recently asked some of the nurses at Connaught Hospital one simple question: “What does nurse mentorship mean to you?”

Their answers were a powerful reminder that mentorship is about so much more than teaching clinical skills. It’s about building confidence, supporting one another, sharing knowledge, and empowering nurses to become leaders within their own hospital.

One of the things I love most about @mercyships is that our work doesn’t end with the surgeries performed onboard. Through our Education, Training & Advocacy teams, we’re committed to strengthening healthcare systems by investing in local healthcare workers, equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to continue improving patient care long after the ship has sailed.

Because sustainable change isn’t achieved by what we do ourselves. It’s achieved by empowering the people
who will carry that work forward every single day ✨🙏🏼

What makes Ghana so unforgettable? 💙⁣
⁣
It's more than the places,it's the people.⁣
⁣
The warmth, hospitality, and deep sense of community leave a lasting impression on everyone who visits.⁣
⁣
As #MercyShips prepares to return, we can't wait to experience it all again.⁣

"I said that it would be fixed one day" ⁣
⁣
Even after years of being teased because of his cleft lip, seven-year-old Menisco never stopped believing.⁣
⁣
Today, after receiving free surgery aboard the #AfricaMercy, he's back home with a smile he's proud to share 💙⁣
⁣
A new smile. A new confidence. A future filled with possibility.⁣
