Vision Clinic

Cheryl presents a New Testament Creole bible to a women at the IDP camp
We have so many wonderful teams that come to serve in many different ways. This week we have two teams on campus. One team has been amazing at moving, organizing and inventorying all of our tools and supplies as well as finishing up the new thrift store. The other team has been running vision clinics in IDP camps and doing a vacation bible school here on campus. This is an exerpt from Cheryl Warner and the vision clinic:

On Monday, July 11th, 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.
