2023 Mission Team Preparing to Serve

We are so excited to be sending another team over to India after a long break, for obvious reasons. This team has been planning, praying, packing, and is prepared to go! Their mission will include an eyeglass clinic, in partnership with MOST Ministries. The local Indian people of Dasuya are eagerly awaiting the return of the "Eye Camp". Everlasting Life Ministries is hosting the Eye Camp and their members are ready to help with the clinic and share God's love with the people coming in for eyeglasses (and to see the Americans).

Here are the 9 members of St. Matthew that will be your 2023 India Mission Team.

Rounding out the team is Brad Bomhoff from Lutheran Church of Our Savior, near Oklahoma City.

The team departs on Sunday, connects with Brad after his first flight, and heads to India. You can follow along on their adventures by reading this blog.

This past Sunday (and Monday), our team was commissioned and "sent" during each of our worship services. 

Feeling excited and humbled by the support of the church, they set to packing the eyeglasses and supplies for the clinic. Each team member takes one suitcase for their own clothes and necessities and a second suitcase filled with everything they need to run the clinic.

As they complete their final preparations and start this journey, we appreciate your prayers for their health, safety, and for God to be in every detail. May God prepare and soften the hearts of all of those that enter the doors of the eyeglass clinic.
