Operation Mobilisation announced the decommissioning of its ministry ship Doulos December 31st 2009. The news was “unexpected” but followed surveys by the ship’s classification society RINA which found the structure in need of around £10 million additional work before its certificates could be renewed. Doulos has been in key missionary service at ports in over a hundred countries since it was purchased by OM in 1977. OM’s other ministry ship Logos Hope, which was launched earlier this year, continues to draw huge crowds at present in the Caribbean. OM said it “remained committed to operating a two-ship ministry” and is looking into the short-term hire of another vessel while a replacement for Doulos is sought.

BIBLE STUDY: John 21:5-13
PRAISE: God for this vital ministry. Pray that a replacement will soon be forthcoming, and for the 300 Doulos crew who are suddenly left stranded.
