Logos Hope

The Logos Hope is a ship, which is financed by Christian sources, and sails to various ports around the world 'bringing knowledge, help and hope'.
This week the ship has been in London - as you can see from the yellow spikes in the background, the 02 venue, the Dome.
The knowledge is in the form of an absolutely massive bookroom.The help depends on where the ship is - sometimes its medical, other times it is practical like building a house/school or digging a well. The hope is brought by preaching. Each person on board goes out to do evangelistic work one day a week.
Once on board we were shown around various parts and treated to slideshows and videos. Our group was lucky to get on the bridge, and even meet the captain who like every other crew member is a volunteer. There is a school on board for the children of crew members.

The ship is moored in the West India dock very close to Canary Wharf. It was a very interesting afternoon and we are looking forward to Monday morning when it sails to Cork. We will try and find a vantage point down the Thames somewhere.
After Cork it is going to head off to the Caribbean - Kingstown, St Vincent.
