Volunteer ChaplainMarty Schwebel was ministering as a pastor in California when he and his wife decided it was time to take their three sons and extend their ministry overseas. Marty had read about the need for chaplains in a Mercy Ships newsletter and he just knew this was where his family was meant to serve. They volunteered for five years on board the Africa Mercy and even though they’ve been off ship for over ten years, the impact of their time on board will last a lifetime.In this episode Marty shares about the rewarding work he did as a chaplain on board. Marty explains the opportunities he had to share his gifts and talents on board and how the deep connections with people are what he treasures most from his time volunteering.  You will be encouraged by Marty’s pastoral heart and by the work he and his wife are doing today as a result from their time with Mercy Ships. For more about Mary’s current ministry, go to: www.newroadsretreats.com For more information about Mercy Ships, go to: mercyships.org Follow us on Instagram: New Mercies Podcast
