Patrik Bergström: Continuing the Call to Serve

Patrik Bergström has served with Mercy Ships since 1993, both on
vessels and at the International Support Center. His time in both places has
provided him with the compassion and understanding to bridge the gap between
East Texas and West Africa.  

 Volunteering as Senior Chaplain on board the Anastasis, Patrik found immense joy worshipping in such a culturally diverse community. Five years on board equipped him to later serve as the International Chaplain. That job in turn prepared him for his current role with Mercy Ships —  Donor and Volunteer Service Manager. 

In this episode, Patrik shares his journey that brought him to Mercy Ships, and what  compels him to continue his work in the ministry. He also talks about his current role in his home country of Sweden and how his thread of chaplaincy continues.
