Doulos Hope has been launched into ministry! We need People with a posture and attitude to do anything, anytime, anywhere. We expect that the first months up to a year will very much be a journey of discovery as the life and culture on board, the ministry and how that is shaped but also the manning on board will evolve. It will very much be an emergent process which you can be part of, as in collaboration we help shape and influence the way forward. This is a great and unique opportunity to join the first crew on Doulos Hope to get the ship ready for Ministry . Come with a servant heart, an attitude to learn, and willingness to be flexible and this could be the experience of a lifetime. Many who have been on OM ships on a short term experience bear witness to the huge impact it has made on their lives, and to how God has worked in and through them.
Applicants must be 18 or over. The STEP Programme is tailored towards participants aged 18-40.
