DUOLOS

Doulos was purchased in 1977 by GBA Ships e.V. (previously known as Good Books for All), a private, non-profit, charitable organisation registered in Germany.Over 20 million visitors have been welcomed on board for tours, programmes and visits to the floating book fair. With stops in over 500 ports of call, this unique ship has visited more than 100 countries in including Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and many island nations.Doulos is recognised in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest active ocean-going passenger ship.

The Doulos community lives and works together on board as a practical outworking of their service for God. Each individual has a personal, living faith in God, stemming from a restored relationship with Him, bringing hope, meaning and focus to his or her life. The ship community desires to share this message of hope in a restored relationship with God in the ports visited. This is done with greatest respect for and sensitivity towards the culture of the community hosting the ship.

My parents and I were honored to have visited Duolos, The World’s Oldest Ocean Going Passenger Ship. It is currently parked at VivoCity, The Promenade, from 8 – 12 Oct 2009, 10am – 10pm. Here is their official website: http://www.doulos.org/

And I bought a lot of books! (don't know when I'll finish reading them :/), but I believe they'll be useful to me. =) Ps Bill shared today that, in order to lead a celebrated life, we'll first need to feed our spiritual being. Yesh! I'm now prepared to be fed! And if any of you wants some books to read, do ask me :)
