MV Logos Dream





It’s been a year since I’ve been on the MV Logos Hope. It’s a ship that goes to different countries to share the word of God. It has a library with books to sell every time it docks to one country. On board it are volunteers of different nationalities who self-support their stay on board.

That was an experience that left a mark on my heart – the desire to one day go on board it.

I have met a friend during a visit to MV Logos, Michelle Lee, a Hong Kong national. She’s a very nice person. She toured me around the ship and invited me to a dinner along with her “family” in the ship. The food was actually something we don’t normally have for dinner in the Philippines. No rice, boiled salmon, boiled potatoes, some sauce, and milk – that composed that dinner. I thought, if I am ever getting on board to volunteer, I would have to learn to live without rice. That’s a good diet, I thought.

Michelle said she wanted to stay longer on board, but she’s only got two months. She misses her family, but being a volunteer to this ‘ship with a purpose’ is such a great journey. I envy her. I want to go on board the MV Logos hope too.

I know being on board it would make a 360-degree-turn in my life. It would be something I could do for the Lord. The very thought of bonding with people who has the same purpose of serving God, gives me more excitement and passion to pursue this dream.

Until now, the dream of volunteering for the MV Logos hope never leaves me. I want one day to be in it. I know that God can see my heart and that desire I have to serve him. I have been wanting to begin my journey of serving God, and I guess this would be one of the biggest leaps I’ll ever try to make to achieve that.
