Eye Clinic from Mooresville/Troutman/Davidson

On November 21, The Eye Clinic from the Mooresville area was suppose to arrive. As we were preparing to leave our home Mark Abernathy calls us to inform us the team missed their flight from Atlanta to Tegus due to weather conditions. So we called it a day and prayed for them to arrive safely with us on the 22nd which they did. They came with new folks who had never come before and were ready to give some Honduran people physcial eyesight as well as spiritual eyesight. They get their training from an organization called "Eye Doc in a Box". This is an amazing ministry which we had down here earlier this year. This group has no eye doctors with them or anyone who works with an eye doctor. This is a ministry they have chosen to do and has done for several years out of the love for Jesus. Their first stop was Colonia Unidas, Pastor Amado's congregation stepped forward and assisted the team for two days orchestrating a very organized and productive eye clinic. One of the stories of the day, an older lady got up that morning preparing to go to the eye clinic and was praying to the Lord, "I pray I will get eyesight today." Oh what we so take for granted. If we can see or go down the street to get our eyes examined once a year. All this dear lady wanted was hope this team could give her eyesight. And God provided this lady with new eye glasses and now she has her sight back. The second day, I believe,Ken shared that the team left a suitcase at the mission house with eyeglasses and other items needed for the day. As the day progressed God provided them with all they needed. They even had a gentleman come in who had a work related injury that morning. Phil was assisting this gentleman with his glasses. Phil walks over to the boxes of eye glasses and comes across one pair of safety glasses. This was the only pair of safety glasses in the entire inventory. That was an amazing God moment for Phil. This was their first stop on their journey of providing eyesight to many people this week. Thank you God for eyes to see.

"As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. Two blind men were sitting by the roadside and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, "Lord, Son Of David, have mercy on us!" The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, "Lord, Son of David have mercy on us!" Jesus stopped and called to them, "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked. "Lord," they answered, "we want our sight." Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him." Matthew 20:29-34
