Today was Monday and half of the LCBC youth mission team traveled to an IDP camp (individual displacement camp) and conducted the first vision clinic. The others stayed on the Nehemiah compound and did a work project. The people living in the IDP camp are some of those who lost their homes in the earthquake. They are very poor and much in need. We were able to care for 46 of the residents. We gave out 32 pair of reading glasses and built 22 pair of distance glasses. But there is something even more exciting! Of the 46 people we saw, 24 of them prayed to received Jesus Christ into their lives. The team members brought light into a very dark place. And God’s Spirit moved in a mighty way. We return to the same camp tomorrow. So please be in prayer for the team. The students and leaders who stayed on the compound today will be the team that goes out tomorrow. Here are some pictures that Matt took of our vision clinic ministry today.
My daughter Hannah is with you right now. Thanks for posting these great pictures and updates, I know families at home are so glad to be able to follow along with the kids in Haiti this week. Michele
