Our mission is to place a luxury cruise ship off the coast of West Africa to serve as a vessel of aid. Passengers on this mission cruise will be offered a hands-on experience that they otherwise wouldn't have. They will go on this life-changing journey that will open their eyes and hearts to the great needs that exist in this impoverished area of the world. In addition they will participate in group learning sessions and listen to speakers. Interested in speaking? Be sure to let us know.
In addition to passengers, our ships accommodations will take advantage of the spacious meeting rooms, cargo space, hospital, and broadcasting facilities that will transform the ship into a floating base of operations that will provide a staging area to bring relief and hope to the people along the coast of West Africa. Our goal is to partner with organizations to reach as many people as possible. We offer organization, logistics, resources, and a unified support system to aid in accomplishing your goals, your passion, and your ministry. Examples of how your ministry can partner with Purposeful Africa:
-Having our ship provide relief to long term missionary groups and medical teams
-Working and teaching in local community health programs
-Helping with orphan aid programs
-Assisting in the building needs of clinics, churches, schools, and homes
-Mentoring and providing consultation for medical and dental clinics
-Serving for a few days onboard with Mercy Ships or other in-country ministries
-Working in orphan outreach
-Discipleship and evangelism
As we get closer to our departure, the list of projects will be more detailed and fine-tuned as the ministries, churches, and organizations share their needs. Do you have a need not listed here but you could use our help? Will you join us and see God at work? Perhaps God is calling you to engage in various ways in the heart of Africa. We pray that you will join us!

A Prayer When a Situation Seems Impossible - Your Daily Prayer - April 24
My wife has recently painted these words on a wall in our house as a reminder to us both: “Mightier than the waves of the sea, is His love for us!” (Inspired by Psalm 93:4). Please remember this. Mightier than the tempest you are facing is His love for you!
