Servanthood

One of the primary themes Jesus taught His disciples was about servant hood. While on our journey we met several men who were wonderful models of what Christ taught.

Gerardo Chapa was our room steward. He made sure that everything was clean and comfortable. It seems that every time we left the room he would come in and clean up, empty the trash, etc. Gerardo is from Mexico, he has been working for the cruise line for about nine years.

McRic and Siwathep were our favorite waiters in the dining room. McRic on the left is from the Philippines. He was headed home for four months at the end of our cruise. The staff will work in board for ten months or so and then the cruise line will fly them home and back for time with families, etc. Siwathep is from Thailand. They were probably the best waiters we have ever had. They also were warm and friendly at all times.

"Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave--just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, to give his life as a ransom for many."

John 20: 26-28
