Dear Friends and Supporters, Once again, thank you for your prayers. We have had a busy couple weeks of ministry. And, as always, new issues and opportunities presented themselves. We discovered a termite infestation in the ceilings of our house. The contractors first came to tear out the offending areas. Then the pest control company came and fumigated the whole house – we had dust and debris scattered throughout the house, but they’ve repaired all […]
Dear Friends and Supporters, We have been in Zimbabwe for two weeks and have recovered from that long journey and 7 hour time change. Last week we finally had a full night’s sleep without waking up at all hours – it was so refreshing! When we arrived, we had no electricity, and that first night was very hot with mosquitos enjoying their blood dinners at our expense. Fortunately, after a couple of days, we were […]
Dear Friends and Supporters, We recently departed the states and arrived in Zimbabwe for another chapter of our ministry in Southern Africa. As always, we are excited to continue to mentor, teach and empower our local colleagues, and also give of the talents and gifts that God has given us to bring physical and spiritual eyesight to many in need. Some of you know that we are also embarking on a new project to equip […]
Dear Friends, Another chapter in our wok and ministry has concluded, and we rejoice in all that was accomplished as we continued to bring hope to the people of Zimbabwe through our skills and talents. To recap, Steve arrived in Bulawayo by himself a week before Jane (he decided that traveling alone is not for him), and began consulting and teaching at the Richard Morris Eye Hospital and at the NUST Medical school. Jane arrived […]
Dear Friends and Supporters, We have been in Zimbabwe for one month, and it has been a busy but very fulfilling trip. We said goodbye to the US team from Columbus, Georgia last Saturday after taking them to the Hwange National Park and Victoria Falls for a couple of days. They all expressed their thankfulness to God for such a fulfilling time of ministry and work. We have heard from several people here in Bulawayo […]
Dear Friends and Supporters, We rejoice in all that has happened since we last wrote to you. Jane arrived without any difficulties or problems in her journey over, although two nights in an airplane took its toll, and she was worn out when she arrived in Bulawayo. Steve was grateful and so very pleased to see her on this side of the Atlantic where the cold weather has persisted at night, and the water has […]
Dear Friends and Supporters, It’s COLD here in Zimbabwe and is the middle of the winter season. Steve arrived a week ago, and to keep warm at night, he slept under 4 blankets with a hot water bottle and a beanie on his head. He also missed Jane, who only arrived recently from the States. Unfortunately for her, when she was waiting for her baggage to appear in the claim area, she and the other […]
Dear Friends and Supporters, We have been making preparations for our next trip back to Zimbabwe. Steve is flying out this week and Jane will follow a week later due to commitments. Much has transpired since our last communication with you – we sent over two shipments of supplies to augment the capabilities of the eye services in southern Zimbabwe. Contained in these crates are an operating microscope, rolling operating room bed, several very delicate […]
