Asia had first heard of OM’s ship, Logos Hope, in March 2026, and by October, she was stepping aboard for at least three months. With her work and life reaching an opportune time to leave, she felt there was no better time than the present to make such a decision.

Asia was raised in a Christian family, but as she grew up, she began to feel herself moving away from God. It was not a sudden break, but a slow process of distancing which felt difficult to control.

After crying out to God for help amid overwhelming challenges, she began to think seriously about Jesus again. She returned to the Bible, began praying, and gradually rebuilt the faith that had eroded. This time, however, Christianity meant something different to her. It was no longer simply the faith in which she had been raised: following Jesus had become a conscious and serious decision. “Jesus totally changed my life,” she says.

At the time, Asia was working in the film industry, yet as her faith became increasingly central to her life, this work became less consistent and Asia took this as an opportunity to deepen her relationship with God. During this time, she also began a YouTube channel sharing what she was learning about God, which Asia came to see as a form of mission.

In March, someone in Asia’s church posted about Logos Hope in a group chat. Asia was immediately fascinated by the idea of a ship as a platform for ministry across multiple countries. Even seeing a photograph of the ship evoked a powerful feeling. “Something in my heart started beating more strongly,” she remembers.

At the same time, she knew serving on board was a serious commitment, and initially she did little more than read and wonder about it. Yet the idea stuck with her. She began speaking with Aneta, another member of her church involved with OM in Poland, and together they arranged a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland, where Logos Hope would be docked.

After spending five days aboard the ship in July, Asia was amazed and excited by the experience but still did not imagine herself on board for a longer time. That would soon change.

By the end of August, Asia had become convinced that God was calling her to join Logos Hope. The speed of events was dizzying - only five months had passed since she first heard about the ship, and now she was preparing to say farewell to Poland in October.

The sudden decision caused Asia to question whether she had understood God correctly. Joining Logos Hope meant leaving her job, church, family and familiar life with little time to prepare. She asked God for reassurance that this was genuinely what He wanted her to do.

Then things seemed to align in a miraculous way. Asia feared there might be consequences for giving too little notice when leaving her job. When her boss contacted the office, however, they discovered that Asia’s contract was already due to expire in September - something both had forgotten. With Asia scheduled to leave for the ship in October, the timing seemed remarkable to her.

To Asia, her circumstances recalled the story of Elijah calling Elisha. Elisha left his field and oxen rather than waiting for a more convenient moment. Asia had once wondered why Elisha could not simply finish what he was doing first. Now, faced with her own decision, the story took on a different meaning.

As she prepares to join Logos Hope, these stories of faith are what gives Asia confidence that God will be with her whatever comes. She does not know whether her time aboard will extend beyond her initial three months to something longer. Her hope is to serve people practically, share her faith and experience deep fellowship with others aboard.

“God can use me to change people’s lives,” she says, “but He can also use those people to change me.”

Above all, she hopes to remain attentive to the God she believes led her there in the first place - to be light and salt wherever she is sent, and to allow the experience to transform her as much as she hopes it may help transform others.
