Dear Holland -
Thank you so much for the use of the equipment. Wow, what an impact the vision clinic had on
the kingdom of God! Because of the vision clinic, we had several hundred people come to
Christ! In one town particularly, (Berrugas, Colombia), we held an evangelism event where
thousands of people attended. The intent of this event was to kick-off the start of a new church
plant in this community. During the event, person after person would come up to us showing
their new glasses, sharing how thankful they were and how great they could now see! At the
end of one night close to 300 hundred people had come to salvation through Jesus Christ!!!
Indeed, they got new sight! What an amazing ministry that opened the door for us to present
Christ and change lives for all of eternity! Due to this, we held our first-ever church service at
our new church in Berrugas on Sunday morning...175 people came early in the morning to
worship God and 3 were baptized. The local bar offered us the use of their building, where the
bar owner came to church, gave her life to Christ and was baptized! WOW, WOW and WOW!
Thank you again for your ministry that allowed so many lives to be changed.
Again, thank you so much for the use of the equipment. With the start of 2 new churches in
Colombia, we will be returning a couple of times a year now, and indeed a vision clinic will be an
added part of our ministry. May God bless you and your ministry!
Be blessed...Jeannie

I have several stories I know you'd appreciate but of course Miguel is the most special. He was a
man in his 40s with bad eyesight and we found him a very good pair of glasses and prayed for
him and he had tears in his eyes. We fitted approximately 600 eyeglasses and 230 people came to
Christ. This ministry was an incredible bridge to salvation as well as establishing the missionaries
in a new community and successfully starting a new church and the first ever international
United Methodist church plant. God used this in a mighty way and our team was incredible and
worked well together. I'll send you some pictures! Thank you for all your help, generosity,
commitment to Christ and this ministry. God bless! Audette
