The first day of the eyeglass clinic was a success. Here are a few pictures from the day with a little commentary.
Team leader Kelly Bone laying out the plan for us. On her left is Traci from Kansas who is an LPN doing the nursing function.
Trisha and Melinda flipping for scripts. This is where the initial prescription is determined before getting a honed in prescription by trying on three pairs of glasses. For a better description of the process, visit the MOST website (link on the side and also in a previous post).
Gaylen McDonald fitting glasses. Doing a fantastic job of bending and forming eyeglasses to create smiles and great fitting glasses.
Here is Elizabeth sharing the gospel using an Evangel Cube ... it gives the gospel message through pictures, allowing the person to see a visual image while hearing the story. The good news of Jesus was shared 154 times today! Praise God!
After a successful day of the eyeglass clinic, the team had the wonderful experience of going to a house church and worshiping with the faithful members. Here are a few pictures of that.
You can see it was a full house ... there are people sitting out on the sidewalk through the front door.
Pastor Daniel is preaching ... notice the cell phone light for illumination.This was his 3rd sermon in English. He is working hard to improve his English.
The Indian hospitality is alive and well. The team was served dinner at the home of Pastor Daniel's first new believer when he started his ministry in 1996! You can see that in traditional fashion, dinner was served in the bedroom/sitting room. The bed doubles as table and chair.
In addition, the team also enjoyed some mango juice prior to evening worship at the house church.
It seems like it was a very busy first day, but God was in the midst. He is working and many are being blessed ... both Indian and American.
And for a little humor ... everyone was very impressed that Mark chose his shirt to match Pastor's walls. Can't wait to see what he wears tomorrow!
As always, thank you for your continued support and prayers for the mission team. As we are getting ready for bed, they are awake and getting ready for day 2 of the clinic. May God bless the work of their hands!
