Final Clinic Day

I know you already know what I'm going to write ... they broke their own record! The self-proclaimed well-oiled machine received 317 people into the clinic on the last day. And they distributed 402 pairs of glasses! Praise be to God! It's all because of Him that this clinic was so successful.

This team consists of not just the 10 members that traveled from America, but all of the volunteers and translators from Everlasting Life Ministries. God assembled this team from opposites sides of the Earth, with one common goal of sharing God's love through the gift of sight. And they did just that!! And backing this team are hundreds of people praying for them and for God's Word to take root in the hearts of those who hear it. 

We have a lot of great pictures of the last day of clinic.

We don't share the same alphabet, so in order to correctly obtain the right prescription, the charts they read are hands facing different directions. So they either point or mimic the handprints to show they can see the line clearly.

Ray started the eye health education outside of the clinic to help speed up the process and get more people the information.

 

 

You can see Brian using a candle to soften the frame in order to shape it to fit the new owner perfectly. What good would a pair of glasses be if they didn't fit your face? He also fixes nosepads, screws, and a whole lot of other things I don't know how to do.

The ladies take such good care of the team, making sure they are fed and have their chai! We couldn't function without chai! (It's seriously the best!)

Our ladies even requested a private lesson on how to make chai properly! And they got their lesson!

As the team begins their journey home after the eyeglass clinic, please pray for their safe travels and pray for all of the lives that were touched over the last week through the clinic. May it produce Kingdom fruit. Continue to follow the blog as we share more pictures and maybe some stories, too.
