Graeme's cameo appearance on national television

'60 Minutes' aired on schedule last week in New Zealand, and we were deeply impacted by the integrity and professionalism of the piece. Not only did they get what we do correct, they really captured the essence of why we do what we do! In addition to the edited version of the US documentary, another eight minutes of interviews with New Zealand nurses was added and it became a 25 minutes feature - and played twice on PRIME in one week!

How about popping on the kettle, making a cuppa and watching it right here? It's really worth the look - unbiased  I know! Just scroll down the page till you see it  (if you only want to see the second chapter with the Kiwis nurses then begin at minute 10).

Did I mention that Graeme features towards the end? There are some strict confidentiality regulations about filming in New Zealand hospitals which they required his help to overcome  ... I guess  you'll just  have to watch it, and I'm sure we'll get another influx of cheeky emails from those who have!

The next project for us is Mercy by Moonlight; an evening cruise event we are conducting in May. We'll tell you more about that soon .......... 

Totally incredible news!

'60 Minutes' is airing their segment about Mercy Ships here in New Zealand, with  an additional six minutes of interviews with Kiwi nurses added to make it the feature story! (The documentary piece was originally aired in the US a couple of weeks ago - see the previous post)

This seems to be the break through we have been praying for, for years! This exposure for Mercy Ships will give us a profile within the country that is mind-blowing! Please help us by passing along the news.

Would you please pray for Graeme and I as we work hard to get all the logistics in place so that this opportunity is fully captured logistically. Would you pray that people are challenged to see Jesus accurately through the programme which airs on Monday night and 'encores' on Tuesday night. Pray that a new wave of Kiwis get involved with ministering to the poor though going and giving. We could also use prayer for sanity in the midst!

Graeme and I had a lot of fun on Friday with the '60 Minutes' Producer and Cameraman as the Kiwi nurses were interviewed, 'cut away' shots were filmed in various locations around Auckland, touching stories were told and impacting pictures were shared. It really was a very interesting experience. Now we wait to see the outcome!

The programme should be uploaded to share later in the week, so 'watch' this space for a peek. We'll also post it on Facebook (Graemesharon Walls)

Wooo hoo! Go God!
