Eyeglass Clinic Day One

Image
 Our team started the day with a fabulous breakfast made by our host.  There were even healthy shots set out for us!  We began with a devotion and prayer requests.  It is so peaceful having breakfast outdoors with all the vegetation. The guesthouse is beautiful. The ride to the church was filled with scenery that took our breath away.  Lush mountains that rival the Rockies in altitude, and architecture that has a distinct Spanish presence.  This is the church and school where we are having the eye clinic.   We served 104 people with the need for eyeglasses.  We had translators that helped, as well as a pastor, who was very friendly and guided people with spiritual counseling before they had their exams. We had five stations that the people went through before they left, and each person received a bottle to make saline eye drops and a pair of sunglasses, along with any prescription glasses that they tested for.   We had dinner on the road at a...

Final Preparation and Commissioning

Image
Blessings to all! Sunday was a busy day for the team, in a good way:) It started with being officially commissioned by Pastor to go forth in God’s name and serve in the mission field. After the service, the mission team headed to MOST Ministries, where lunch was provided by our team leader.  Next came the final Bible study and then suitcases were filled with eyeglasses and all of the related supplies. Each of us will have a full sized piece of luggage with close to 50 pounds of materials, along with our personal and carryon bags. That’s a lot of luggage!  We are now working on final preparation such as personal packing and filling out our travel documents, so that we can be ready to head out.

Thank you for blessing us with an awesome team and for all the generous support we have been given to make this mission happen. Please guide us, strengthen us and keep us safe i...

Cultural Day

 Hello everybody!  I am going to apologize in advance, as this particular blog entry is going to be really long, but stick with it! There are lots of interesting things to see! We had a really full day.  First, we said farewell to Nury’s family and our translator Norman, as they were headed home from their holiday here. We had a wonderful breakfast served by our host and headed out. Our first stop was to head up into the mountains and view the lava rivers created in 2018 by Volcán del Fuego.  This eruption decimated the area and many homes and lives were lost.  We crossed over by bridge and saw where the lava had overtaken an existing river. Next, we visited a park named Cerro de la Cruz with a large cross that overlooks Antigua.  It was spectacular!                                                      We did some shopping a...
