We saw God's hand at work again today at the medical clinic. Many people were going home with smiles on their faces after receiving glasses that improved their vision. Thanks be to God that we were able to distribute hundreds of glasses to people that would not have enough money to buy them. Having done two other eyeglass stations this week, our group has become quite efficient and more knowledgeable about what the people needed. Really, none of us are skilled eye doctors, even though some of the people had this thought. It is only by God's grace, answered prayer for quidance, and a little persistance that a lot of the needs were met. Especially rewarding for all of us were the smiles of children when the right pair of glasses was found. The CCF translators and helpers were such a blessing. What has been very encouraging for me on my first overseas mission trip is seeing our Filipino brothers and sisters in Christ doing the Lord's work right beside us. The CCF service tonight was particularly a blessing and uplifting for our team. We love to see the zeal and energy these people have for the Lord. Let us continue working together to build His kingdom! Nathan

How awesome to see God using you all to accomplish tasks through Him! It must be wonderful to see the joy of people when they can see better once fitted with the right pair of glasses. Praise God!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful work you are doing for God. May He keep you safe and bless you in it.
ReplyDeleteMatt 20:30-34: 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 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.
