Some more VBS photos!

Here are a couple photos of VBS! The team did three afternoons of VBS at three different locations. Each day we had over 100 children. The team loved and shared the heart of Jesus to each one.

Luis and his story

We checked the eyes of a 69 year old man named Luis. After checking his eyes Pat asked him to look at the largest letter on the eye chart and walk towards it. He told him to stop when he could see it clearly and didn't have to squint. Luis got out of his chair and nearly walked into the wall where the chart was hanging. He couldn't see at all....he was nearly blind.

We asked him if he ever had glasses and he said that he had. He continued to say that they had broken three years ago and he has had to do without. We asked him how he could see....he chuckled and pulled out of his jacket a little piece of his broken lense that he had kept.....he put it up to his eye (see photo to the left)....and said that this is how he was able to see. He put on a new pair of glasses and a huge grin came over his face and he said "Thank You God!". Luis walked out with a new pair of glasses and could see again!

We had rotating team members help Pat and LeAnne with the eye care clinic. What an amazing ministry to the surrounding community. The team was able to see around 400 people and dispensed eye glasses to those that needed it. We found out that eye care is a huge need in this area. There were lots of people waiting in line when we arrived each day and were able to see the names of the people on a list that was given to us to see. We had to turn people away each day but the team worked hard and skipped lunch a couple of days so that everyone could be seen!
