Roger Newquist: Volunteer Chaplain
Roger Newquist was nearing retirement from his law enforcement career when he
began to dream about what was next. He first heard of Mercy Ships through supporting a friend as she went to teach on board. Desiring to go back into ministry, Roger explored Mercy Ships and found a perfect opportunity for him and his family. Upon retiring, Roger boarded the Africa Mercy to volunteer as a chaplain.
In this episode, Roger shares about the thrill of living in a multi-cultural environment while getting to use his gifts to help others, and the heartbreak of leaving that community due to COVID. He tells of his experience with the screening team and the impact the nurses made on him. As Roger recalls God’s faithfulness on board and the gift of serving the crew, you will be inspired and uplifted.
