port 6: portland, victoria

I dont know about everyone else, but i absolutely loved being docked in smaller towns... Portland, Victoria for example... you would think you wouldn't get that many people coming to visit the ship but its actually quite the opposite. when a YWAM medical ship rolls in a smaller community, we pretty much dominate the town, cruising around in our vans and we basically become the 'bid deal' of the week. the genuine responses from the locals and the hundreds of spectacles and toothbrushes that were dropped off was very encouraging. it puts into perspective once again why we are doing what we are doing... its exciting to present something so tangible to people that just want to do something to make a difference ...
