After spending his teenage years in Zimbabwe, Joff Williams discovered what it looks like to put your faith in action. This realization formed his adult years and caused he and his wife to seriously ask what they wanted to do with their lives to live out their faith. A chance meeting with Mercy Ships volunteer surgeon, Dr. Gary Parker at a wedding reception led Joff and his wife to apply as volunteers with Mercy Ships as a family.  After serving for over 5 years at the International Support Center in Texas, Joff and his family are now aboard the Global Mercy, serving as the Managing Director of the vessel.  In this episode, Joff shares his joy in witnessing the Global Mercy doing what she was created to do — serving the people of Africa. He talks of life’s challenges that prepare us for something greater, answered prayers, as well as the power of community and rich relationships.    Get ready to be blessed by this Godly leader.   For more information about Mercy Ships, visit www.mercyships.org   Follow us on Instagram at New Mercies Podcast
