Martha Ashu grew up in Cameroon, one of seven children. Upon finishing her university degree, political unrest broke out in her country, forcing her to go live with her sister who owned and operated a restaurant. During that time, Martha helped her sister in the restaurant and this season laid the groundwork for the culinary journey Martha would embark upon.   When she heard of a ship coming to Cameroon, Martha decided to apply to work on board in the galley and some might say, “the rest is history.” Martha has now been on board for over five years and has grown in more ways that she could have ever asked or imagined. With all of her experience and training, Martha is now seeking to go to culinary school to make her passion her profession.   Through a beautiful story of trusting God, taking risks, and relying on the kindness of others, Martha will inspire you through her Mercy Ships journey.  For more information about Mercy Ships, visit www.mercyships.org    Follow us on Instagram at New Mercies Podcast
