Grace Flint: Volunteer Teacher While growing up, Grace Flint had heard about Mercy Ships from her father who was in the Navy. But it wasn’t until she had graduated from college that Mercy Ships came up once again. Grace was a teacher in Indiana and desired to teach overseas, specifically in Africa, and that’s when she applied to volunteer with Mercy Ships. On this adventure, Grace didn’t go alone — she invited her friend Kayla to join her as a teacher in the Academy. In this episode, Grace and Kayla start by telling what it’s been like to volunteer with a dear friend from home. Grace goes on to honestly share the disappointment of initially not getting to serve in Africa due to the pandemic, but the blessings that came because she stayed. She tells about the highlights of still bringing hope and healing to everyday people she met in the Canary Islands and how the mission of Mercy Ships is not confined to West Africa. You will be inspired by this enthusiastic teacher who seeks to share the love of Jesus with her students and to everyone in all situations.
