You're reaching out to people in need – feeding the hungry, caring for the lonely, and giving urgent medical help to those who need it. I have every hope you will continue to reach more and more patients in the years beyond. I know you will continue your mission of bringing hope and healing to those who need it most. May God continue to bless you in your important work."

"I’m a big fan of Mercy Ships. I think it’s one of the most extraordinary services in the world. Ships that go around free of charge treating people and bringing what they say they do – bringing mercy to people who need it. I can’t think of a better concept than Mercy Ships. I think it’s a great idea. I think they’re about to approach the 4 million people that they’ve helped. I think Mercy Ships will go on... It would be great if we didn’t need them, but we do need them. So I think their future is boundless."

- Larry King
