The Second Clinic



 

Today was another lesson in flexibility and adaptability.  The church that we were originally going to visit had issues arising from the heavy rains last night, so Caring Friends had to quickly look for another site.  The church that welcomed us moved the children from the large one room pre-school to accommodate our operations.  This church is located in a very poor area.  

As usual, we opened and closed in song and prayer with the Caring Friends team.



Despite opening with no advance notice, the clinic attracted over 100 people, ranging in age from 4 to 82.  We distributed about 130pairs of glasses.  The news travelled quickly through the neighborhood—  more evidence that this service is greatly needed.   We work pretty much non-stop from 10:00 to 2:00-3:00 and spell each other for lunch breaks. 

Team leader Annette and I had fun taking quick breaks with the preschoolers.  They know Baa Baa Black Sheep . Annette sang “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star “ with them.  I taught them Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”.  We were rewarded with many smiles and hugs. 



We came home to a a power outage and had devotions bu candlelight.  

Once again, pictures and videos need to wait until a propitious time.  Look for updates!

    This is a revealing post as to the need for this ministry! I suppose others' deprivation helps put one's own inconveniences into perspective...

The Third Day

 Today we served at St. Peter College.  There was plenty of notice prior and the members of St. Peter Confessional Lutheran Church encouraged the community to come. We served 208 people and distributed many more pairs of glasses.  We think that this might be a record for an eyeglass clinic.  Unfortunately we had to turn some people away.   Each day brings fresh evidence of the great needs here.  I spoke with one young woman who lost her glasses five years ago and hasn’t been able to replace them.  She hasn’t driven her car since then because she can’t see well and she doesn’t want to get a ticket.  Reading had become increasingly difficult also.   Clean water is also a great need here.  We bring plenty of water wherever we go .  At our last site, Caring Team members saw people drawing drinking water from an area   where drinking water and flushing water are mixed.  One woman that came to the clinic had damaged eyes from a water-born parasite.  Unfortunately, glasses cannot help in that

No "Goers" Without "Senders"

The youth group from St. Luke Lutheran, Itasca, IL (team member Walt's home congregation) packed up 973 (yes, 973) pairs of eyeglasses for shipment to Ann Arbor.   We're hoping that they might be future MOST mission team members!   We are thankful to them and to all the senders for the love that makes our trip possible.

We’ve Arrived!

 We arrived safely this evening in Johannesburg.  We travelled an additional hour and a half by van to reach the guest house in Middleburg.  Our driver Knut was wonderful.  We were greeted at the guest house by our gracious host Muzi who led us in a prayer of gratitude.  The guest house is beautiful and stocked with food for us.  Tomorrow we will meet the Caring Friends team and enjoy a braai (barbecue) with them.
