| How To Give |
As Mercy Ships is a non-profit-volunteer-organisation, its continued existence depends solely upon the grace of God and the support of people. Your donation to Mercy Ships impacts the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in developing nations each and every year. These are primarily people with little or no access to health care, many of whom have given up hope of ever getting well. Mercy Ships serves the poor through HealthCare Services and Community Development Services, without discrimination or prejudice with regard to ethnicity, sex, age or religion.

2) Medical & Pharmaceutical Supplies
Due to Local and International regulations we may only accept certain medical and pharmaceutical supplies. We would be grateful however should you be able to make any donation that you contact us at the office so we can establish whether we are able to accept your generosity.
3) Collection of Supplies
Detailed lists are available of things that are needed for our ministry to operate. Considering partnering in one of our collections to support our patients, school & children’s ministries and community development projects.
Its easy! Make a decision as a group to collect one vital item on our needs list. For example, a small thing such as each member bringing in a new toothbrush, screwdriver or a packet of colouring pencils will help us in ministry. Not only Churches, but Schools, Service groups such as Rotary, Scouts/Girl Guides, school classes and work places can all take on a small project and together make a huge difference to those in need.

| Church |
1) Church Partnerships
Mercy Ships’ aims to partner with the local church to share what God is doing across the world and to mobilize Christians in missions, both at home and abroad. Our hope is that in sharing our vision and ministry, the church will be inspired to join forces in fulfilling the Great Commission. (Matthew 28:18-20)
2) Bible Drive
Mercy Ships gives out more than 3,000 Bibles each year in West Africa to patients, new believers and Pastors who do not have their own copy of God’s Word! You could help us by taking up a Bible offering, or having a church drive to collect new and second-hand Bibles (full Bibles in good condition, NIV and versions with easily translated English preferred)

4) Fundraising
|
| Mercy Ships partners with a wide range of organizations that contribute finance, cargo and services in the support of its work. Every dollar that Mercy Ships receives is complemented by over $2 in contributed gifts-in-kind and services. The medical community donates pharmaceuticals, medical equipment and supplies. Port fees are often waived as well. Most significantly, those serving on the ships contribute monthly crew fees and raise their own finances to serve with Mercy Ships. For these reasons, the return on investment for Mercy Ships is nothing less than extraordinary. |
