?? The Mercy Lens – January 2025 Edition ??

As the sun sets on the first month of 2025, I find myself reflecting on the incredible stories I’ve had the privilege of capturing aboard the Global Mercy. ?? Every day, I witness moments of resilience, Hope, and Healing—stories that deserve to be told and remembered.

From life-changing surgeries to the unwavering dedication of the crew, January has been a month of impact, and I’m honored to bring these experiences to life through my lens.

?? Inside this month’s edition: ? Stories of Healing – The journey of patients whose lives have been transformed through surgery. Their courage and gratitude are beyond inspiring.

?? Crew Chronicles – The heartbeat of Mercy Ships lies in the people who serve. This month, I had the chance to document the stories of crew members who have dedicated their time and skills to bringing hope and healing.

?? Behind the Lens – A look at what it’s like filming onboard, from capturing surgeries in the OR (while suited up in scrubs!) to filming moments of joy and faith in the daily lives of the crew.

?? Trent’s Story – One of the most impactful projects I worked on this month. This video showcases Trent’s journey and what it means to serve with Mercy Ships. Can’t wait for you to see it!

?? Personal Reflections – The moments that challenged me, inspired me and reminded me why storytelling matters in the world of medical missions.

This journey has been nothing short of life-changing, and I’m excited to continue sharing these stories with you. Thank you for being part of this adventure, whether through encouragement, prayers, or simply following along.

Let’s keep telling stories that make a difference. ????
