One organisation that is currently on the lookout for electricians, carpenters, welders and plumbers is Operation Mobilisation. Its new ship Logos Hope, the replacement for Logos II, is nearing the end of its refit and OM are keen to hear from any volunteers with these skills to help finish the job.

A permanent book fair on the ship will offer visitors 8,000 different Christian and education titles. Logos Hope, which will be OM Ships’ largest vessel, is scheduled to visit the UK in early 2009. Crews on board OM Ships’ vessels are made up entirely of Christian volunteers, who help run the ship as it visits ports around the world. They also complete practical aid projects in ports and host teaching conferences for local Christians onboard.

OM Ships’ vessels – Logos, Logos II and Doulos - have brought the Gospel to port communities in more than 150 countries around the world and welcomed more than 37 million people to their book fairs. For more information visit:
