Marx Family - Serving with Mercy Ships

Our Story:

We are a South African family with a passion to follow the example of Jesus, serving those in desperation and need of medical care with our God-given talents… We joined Mercy Ships as full-time volunteers in 2011 and served on the Africa mercy until 2015. After construction, we rejoined as ship-crew volunteers, sailed with the Global Mercy to Antwerp where the final stages of the outfi

tting of the hospital started, and currently completing the project in Tenerife, Spain. Global Mercy

… is the largest and newest addition to Mercy Ships' fleet of hospital ships and will more than double the impact by providing double the Hope and healing of the current Ship, Africa Mercy. Imagine the results where the world’s poorest of the poor live, and with so much desperate need of medical care…

I have taken the role of Chief Electrician, Evilin a nurse onboard, and RJ, our youngest son still in the Academy. Caroline left early in 2022 to start her first year at Stellenbosch University, Cape Town, to pursue a four-year teaching degree. Full-Time Volunteers

We are serving as full-time volunteers with Mercy Ships, which requires us to cover our room & boarding, medical aid, spending money, and travel costs, etc. In order for us to fulfill this full-time commitment, we are relying on financial support from supporters like yourself, which will enable us to meet our monthly goals. Enabling us to continue bringing hope and healing to those in desperate need, transforming lives through life-changing surgeries, continued training of local medical professionals in the countries we serve…

The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are
cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
