Our Mission

Mission
We follow the 2,000-year-old model of Jesus, bringing hope and healing to the world’s forgotten poor.
Vision
Mercy Ships uses hospital ships to transform lives and serve nations.
Values
We seek to love God, love and serve others, demonstrate integrity, and strive for excellence in all we do.
Mercy Ships began our mission to provide hope and healing to those in need in 1978. Each year we send hospital ships filled with volunteer medical professionals who selflessly provide life-changing surgeries to children and adults who otherwise would go without. Together we are saving lives.
