Together with your help, we bring free healthcare services to people of all ages in desperate circumstances – people who have no chance to get the medical help they need until a hospital ship from Mercy Ships comes to town.
Our volunteers perform life transforming surgeries, provide desperately needed healthcare and training, run the ship, feed the crew, support with donations, prayer and encouragement to all those involved in this mission of mercy.

Hey neighbours, is there a right way to fold towels? It seems it's a topic lots of people have strong opinions about.
The most popular options are the quick-and-easy triple fold, or folding the outer edges towards the centre before folding in thirds, to create a plusher, more spa-like look. … View moreHey neighbours, is there a right way to fold towels? It seems it's a topic lots of people have strong opinions about.
The most popular options are the quick-and-easy triple fold, or folding the outer edges towards the centre before folding in thirds, to create a plusher, more spa-like look. But what do you do? And who knew folding towels could be so controversial?

Most of my career I have been working with and in blue chip technology companies. As an IT Program Manager, encountering so many diverse technologies can be overwhelming but as one learns to take one step at a time, a person becomes used to the new technology and we then embrace its benefits and become a real fan for what it can do.
In my social group I am in regular contact with those older than myself who are bright, engaging and active. However when it comes to their iPad, tablet, laptop or smartphone these devices can seem very overwhelming and a sense of pain crosses over their eyes as these devices hold so much promise for them but can be such a massive wall to climb just to do the basics.
So I would like to offer an 12-lesson basic tech course to help Mom and Dad or Grandma and Grandpa to grasp the basics of their own technology. The idea of these classes is for each one to bring to class their preferred technology (smartphone/tablet/laptop) and then to step through the basics of how it works, what it needs to be connected to and what Apps or software is needed.
The course designed by myself is to understand how to use your own technology comfortably and the various applications such as Skype, email, WhatsApp, Zoom, FaceTime, the internet and office explorer files and more.
The first day of the course is an overview and the journey we will take together. This first day is free for you to decide if this is something you would like to take on over the next 12 lessons with no obligation. This course will commence on the basis if there is sufficient interest in our community to do so.
I am based in Browns Bay and training will take place in a comfortable homely environment in a classroom style set up to optimise training once we are able to have meetings again. Notes will be provided of each session so no need to write copious notes.
This course will run twice weekly and is $20 + Gst a lesson and anyone can stop and join at any time. As mentioned above the first lesson is free. There is no need to pay for a full course only pay for the day you attend. Once you have completed the course in full, you will be presented with a certificate of completion of Technology - The Basics. A nice to have if you want to venture to start working again or to show your friends.
This will run during the day on a weekly basis for 1.30hrs (90 minutes). If you are interested or would like to sign up a relative, contact me on email: Gavin.tipping@outlook.com

When we had word that we had been chosen to transform into a community based assessment centre (CBAC) it was all go to get Northcross ready within 48 hours to start the testing process.
After a few teething problems and being over run with calls at times, our appointment based system really proved to be a winner allowing us to test over 9000 North Shore and Rodney locals.
A big thank you to our community for your continued support throughout our time as a CBAC.
Our extremely hard working team have appreciated every kind word over the last three months and are looking forward to getting back to our normal.
