My journey with OM Ships started a little over two years ago through one small STEP. STEP stands for short-term exposure programme, and the exposure I received in that time compelled me to apply to return to the ships for two years. Now STEP has begun on Logos Hope, with the aim of exposing more people to international overseas service, giving them training and helping them deepen their relationship with God through their experiences on board.
STEPers work in departments and also take part in the different conferences and visits – the same as the rest of the ship’s company. The only difference is the length of time that they stay on board. Most of us are here for two years, but a STEP programme is usually between 2-3 months. At the moment 20 participants are going through the STEP course, and in December another one will start up. If you are interested, or know somebody else who might be interested, then visit http://www.logoshope.org/step. I would definitely recommend it!
