Bermuda? The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear "Bermuda" is the place where Merlin (The Sword in the Stone) went on vacation with his flower shorts... Well it isn't far from reality for Bermuda is made of numerous small islands somewhere in the Atlantic. With 60 000 citizens it is also the fourth richest country in the world! (in average pay per person) 7.00 US$ for a cheese... That's not cheap. But its economy is not its only strength, it also has beauty beyond imagination with its striking clear blue waters and pink beaches.
As we touched down in Hamilton a team of 12 (the "Gold Team") was put together to welcome at the Willow Bank Hotel between 150 t0 200 supporters of the Logos Hope ministry. I was chosen to be one of these 12, welcoming and just being available in any way for these people (transport, communications, food etc...). The first day of their arrival I got the immense pleasure of being the "luggage man", one of the reasons I enjoyed it so much is that I had a golf cart to help me... I miss driving so much!
We had five amazing days getting to know our supporters and explaining to them our futur projects for the ship.
Personally I learned how to take initiative when it comes to services (calling a taxi, giving info, contacting the right people). Yes, we did get to enjoy the island at the same time, the simple fact of passing in front of such a gorgeous view (first picture) every time you're putting luggage away was... well, a blessing. It is true that the Island is beautiful, yet I must explain that as it is a norther island it was very cool at the time and wearing long sleeves was not uncommon...
Fruit of this port:
-Motivated supporters having a new passion for our ministry
-A good donation for our school projects in __ (a futur port of call)
-Books and ministry (yes we did have many visitors)
