********************

'Designed for Living changed my life'

"More than a decade ago my life was drastically changed when I encountered the design for living which this book describes – and I genuinely have never been the same person since!

"By helping me to understand and accept myself, and others, I was able to discard the 'candy floss' mask I'd always hidden behind. I'm no longer afraid to be the person God created me to be, as I find my identity in Him."

Jennifer Rees Larcombe

Caroline Gill (2): Buying books aboard the 'Logos Hope'




The Operation Mobilisation ship, Logos Hope in Cardiff Bay
June 2009


It was an unusually balmy evening on Tuesday 2 June 2009 as we clambered up the gangplank of the Logos Hope in Cardiff Bay. The ship's mooring was barely a stone's throw from the Senedd, the Norwegian Sailors' Church and the Millennium Centre. Logos Hope belongs to the missionary organization, Operation Mobilisation (OM): it is a ship that will sail around many parts of the world on its mission to take the Gospel to all nations. The warm weather had brought everybody on to the streets, and there was an atmosphere of excitement in the air: people were keen to come aboard to explore the ship and to enjoy a snack in the international café. We were joined by the Mayor of Cardiff. UK supporters had travelled from parts of Wales, Oxfordshire and the West Midlands to be there.

The ship's motto is 'Bringing knowledge, Help and Hope', and during the course of our evening on board, we enjoyed a presentation about aspects of this unique ministry. One of the main thrusts of the work comprises the 'world's largest floating book fair' which carries an incredible 6000 titles. We had a most enjoyable browse. There were Bibles in many languages, commentaries (including an archaeologist's guide to the Bible!), Christian books, familiar names like C.S. Lewis and Tolkien - and a huge selection of children's books, hobby books, cookery books, CDs, diaries, polo shirts and all manner of items. I was pleased to buy a copy of W. Phillip Keller's book, 'A Shepherd looks at Psalm 23'. I also bought a travel book about Scotland and a few small presents for the family.

The 400+ crew members, representing 50 nationalities, seek to promote 'education and international understanding through relief work, the floating book fair and cultural exchange programmes.' They serve on board as a practical expression of their faith in Jesus Christ.

The Logos Hope had its 'Official Opening' in Denmark. Since then it has sailed to Cardiff from Edinburgh via Belfast. It will soon be departing for London and then for Saint Vincent in the Caribbean. The ship is 'open' from 12.30 to 20.30 pm on Tuesdays to Fridays and from 10.00 to 22.00 pm on Saturdays. If you are in the Cardiff Bay area before 7 June, do climb aboard to see this remarkable project for yourself.
