Alumni Resources

Welcome to the Mercy Ships Alumni Community. Once a Mercy Shipper, always a Mercy Shipper.

Because of your time on board and your heart to serve, lives were transformed and hope was restored. Thank you! You are part of the Mercy Ships family, and we want to stay connected with you and support you.

Returning Well

After serving on board, transitioning back home can be difficult. Your life as well has probably been changed. Our Debrief Guide was created to help you adjust as you settle back in. We also have a list of vetted debrief providers to help you process your time on board.

Staying Informed

Alumni receive monthly newsletters with Mercy Ships updates and inspirational patient stories. You will also be invited to join the monthly Global Gathering calls.

Our Alumni are ready to hit the ground running when they return and are a vital part of each field service. The process to return is now even easier with a simplified Alumni reapplication! Click the button to fill out the form and express your interest in returning to a vessel. Our team will be in touch with you within 5 business days.

The Alumni reapplication overview outlines the new process.

Ambassador &
Speaker Networks

Sharing your Mercy Ships story is the best way to get others excited about our mission. Alumni ambassadors speak to groups, churches and organizations about Mercy Ships. If you are interested in becoming a Mercy Ships Ambassador, contact your National Office to begin. (Not sure who to contact? Email [email protected])

Crew & Alumni Facebook Group

Our private (closed) group is for crew who lived and served on board. Current crew and Alumni can connect with each other and hear updates from the organization. If you haven’t already, join here.

Only crew who have lived and served on board a Mercy Ships vessel may join this group. All others are invited to follow us here.
