Day 2 is in the Books

Another great day at the eyeglass clinic. The gospel was shared 144 times. We pray for God to use those seeds that were planted to grow faith in the hearts of the people that received it.

I asked for more pictures, so you get the benefit of that request. Here's a day in the life ...

You can see that it was a full house. There are people in the balcony and waiting on the stairs and crowding the door. The door is controlled by members of the church to make sure the clinic doesn't get too full and difficult to run. Vision begins the process by accepting the registration forms from the people coming through.

Meenu is educating the visitors in their own tongue and preparing them for Traci who will check their eyes for any communicable diseases and other problems that may hinder their vision, like glaucoma.

Trisha and Melinda test for the right prescription ... both distance and reading.

Their translators, Emmanuel and Pyrenean, also work the eye charts.

The next station is where the gospel is shared in their native language, with Bibles available for them to take.

While that's happening, Sandy fills their prescription and passes them along to the next station.

Mark and Ray are helping perfect the prescriptions and get the right glasses for each person.

The last station is the fitting station where Gaylen makes sure the glasses fit the person and gets them cleaned.

And that's how the process works. By the way, most of the pictures are from Clay, so we don't get to see him working, but be assured, he is! 

Here are a few more pictures from the day. 

I'm told Kelly has to keep Mark in line.

As a musician, Ray seems to be inspecting (or playing??) an Indian percussion instrument.

A glimpse of the beauty of the land.

Thanks for joining me in taking a sneak peek into the eyeglass clinic. Please continue to pray for the mission and the missionaries. May God bless the work of their hands.
