Boarding at Doulos Ship in Philippines Pier

Last Monday was the most exciting day of my life. How I wished to visit the so called MV Doulos, the famous first ship to travel across the oceans carrying a message of love, hope, knowledge and comfort in different nations around the World. What a wonderful day to board a ship filled with books with the person I loved. We traveled across EDSA from Green hills, San Juan just to experience the adventure of climbing a big ship which carries piles of books on their deck. Monday at 4pm, with the intensity heat of the sun strikes into our heads. We eagerly travel 2hours just to see the enormous ship and even it’s the last pit stop of our trip from National Police Commission, POEA and Green Hills San Juan, the long wait is over.

Excitedly, we managed our way to have a glimpse of how lovely and beautiful the Doulos Ship could be. It’s a long walk towards the ship port. But, I have patiently waited the right moment. Finally, I’m going to board my First Book Ship.I’m very excited and blessed to have that chance to have this kind of moment with someone I truly love. As we follow the routes of children, parents, students and professionals who eagerly wanted to see the Doulos Book fair. We can see meters away the view of the enormous MV Boat, I slowly seen the fascade of the Doulos Ship. The journey to the magnificent Doulos Ship, my so called “A Boat’s Book” is great and overwhelming. While, Ray take a cool picture on the side of the boat where a big capital DOULOS was written and as we exchanged post for a souvenir picture of a wonderful Ship.

I have known this excellent Ship by the recommendation of my Quarantine Medical Officer, Dr. Mitchiko Mindania, an officer who is in charge of checking all the passenger crew of a certain vessel within the territory of the Philippines. A year ago, he told me some interesting facts of the Doulos. How he managed to take a picture and tour around the ship. He mentioned about lots of books parading on the deck, friendly Captain and caring crew greets you with glee.

That’s the time I told myself, I wanted to see this MV Doulos. It’s not the steel created that makes this ship wonderfully crafted. It’s the vision and values it shared to mankind. It doesn’t only create a bond of camaraderie of all nations but it shares an infinite and genuine link of love in God and people that touches on each port they visit. The crew and leadership of the captain creates an enormous impact in the world that nations could be aware of the message of hope and unconditional love that our dear Lord almighty is giving to us. By extending their help to needy nations, they connect a spontaneous glow of love, care ad comfort to their fellow mankind. I salute the Captain and to all crew members.

March 30, 2009 is a memorable event of my life. Thank you for visiting Philippines for the second time around. Thank you for sharing a loving message of hope, camaraderie and encouragement that initiate a good heart to people whom you visit each designate locations in the globe. May you aim with excellence in serving God by helping individuals in different countries. May you continue to serve others and bring honor and praise in God. I bought  2 Books: The Revolution of Love and The Journey by Billy Graham, like the same meaning of the books. May your Journey be filled with encouragement, faith and love among the family and members of MV DOULOS.. May the simple journey revolves with greater commitment of spreading an unconditional love and  faith in God.
