[London, United Kingdom] The Logos Hope is docked for 2 weeks in London. That's a great opportunity to visit!

But most of my schedule is shared between the IT office and the visitor deck. Indeed, if the week is fairly quiet, weekends are busy with up to 4,500 visitors a day, a good preparation for the Caribbean next month. So I went to lend a hand to the welcome desk or to give tours. And it’s very refreshing for me!

Lights and music!

[London, UK] Every morning, the ship's company gather for a time of devotion. But this morning had a very special flavour: for the first time we gathered in the Hope Theater. This is the biggest conference room on board.
When I join the Logos Hope a year and a half ago, the welcoming party took place there, and at that time, it looked like that:

Today, after many hours of work, we had the first evening and 400 young people came:

In a few days, we will welcome school visites, youth groups, churches, and various conferences. It's exciting to have this new tool, but this opening is also another step in the renovation project which is clearly coming to an end. We are grateful for all the work that has been achieved by hundreds of people who gave their time and talents to build this place. Through them, we have seen God's provision for us.
