Maili Saba & the Eyeglass Ministry.
9.17.2004

 

 


Today we went back to the same town, Maili Saba, and half of our groups stayed and did the eyeglass ministry while the rest of us went out to talk to people. My group went the opposite direction of the day before and talked to some more families.  We got back a little bit early and I helped Mary hand out glasses.  It was a really cool experience not only because none of these people have the opportunity to buy glasses, but also because we were meeting their needs on a variety of levels.  God sent us here so that these people could have both physical sight and spiritual sight.  What an amazing miracle!  One lady came up and we gave her the strongest glasses that we had. They looked like Coke bottles. And when she put them on she was SO happy that she exclaimed, "I can now see my grandchildren for the first time!!"  

"I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness;  I will take hold of your hand.  I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness."   Isaiah 42:6-7

 

Today we went the other direction in Maili Saba.

The eyeglass ministry in full swing.
