My name is Des Pollock and I am a Cape Town-born South African. My life has been shaped by oceans and the healthy lifestyle it brings, I consider myself a well rounded “water man”. I have been blessed growing up along the East Coast of Africa -living between Cape Town to Kenya. My career path has consistently been self employed in the construction and tourism sectors. I am qualified as Master of yachts -Captain of power and sailing vessels up to 200 Tons . I am currently restarting HCF in Panama, sailing and yacht charters in the beautiful waters of Bocas Del Torro archipelago. Our Dear Lord Jesus called my name more than a decade ago and has engraved kingdom works deeply in my heart. I consider this road choice to be the highest honor of my life.

NURSES

We continue to intercede for hurting nurses who are struggling on many fronts with work, family, and their personal mental, spiritual, and emotional health. Ask God to lead them into quiet times with him and to bring them into fellowship with those who can support them. Thank God for this amazing ministry of nursing, of entering sacred caring spaces with the sick and hurting, of teaching to promote, maintain, and restore health, of washing bodies and feet in Jesus’ name. We are greatly blessed to be nurses.
