Dear Friends & Supporters, More weeks have passed and we now have been in Zimbabwe for more than 5 weeks. Steve has continued his role in teaching and mentoring. He has been giving talks on different eye diseases every Wednesday morning to the doctors at Richard Morris Eye Hospital. In addition, he has been teaching medical students, both in the hospital setting and also at the NUST Medical School in a classroom setting. He also […]
Dear Friends and Supporters, We continue to be very busy in work and ministry here in Zimbabwe. Steve has seen a number of complex eye issues in his consulting practice and has been able to help many who have come with concerns about the loss of eyesight. He saw a gentleman a couple weeks ago who had diminished vision from a clouded capsule behind the his intraocular lens after cataract surgery. He was able to […]
Dear Friends and Supporters, We landed in Zimbabwe a couple weeks ago after that long flight from Atlanta to Johannesburg and overnighting with some good friends in Pretoria, South Africa. When we arrived the next day in Bulawayo, none of our four checked suitcases arrived. So, our friend, Warren King, drove us to our home, and when the next flight arrived later that afternoon, we were notified that our luggage had arrived. We thank God […]
Dear Friends and Supporters, In the next week we will be flying back to Zimbabwe for more than 6 weeks. We look forward with anticipation to interacting with those who will be impacted as we continue our work and ministry. Steve has already contacted 7 doctors who have expressed their wishes for him to train them in different areas of patient management, both surgical and otherwise. He will spend time with them at the Richard Morris […]
Dear Friends and Supporters, We arrived back in the US about a week ago to end a very rewarding and productive trip to both Zimbabwe and Kenya. As we had mentioned before, we had been asked to conduct a pilot project in Kenya to determine if a ministry in East Africa is also something that God is leading. We arrived in Nairobi to stay at a conference center called Brackenhurst outside the city and near […]
Dear Friends and Supporters, Well, last week we spent our last day in Zimbabwe for this year. We have flown up to Kenya to teach and do eye camps in a pilot project. As we look back upon these almost 7 weeks in Zimbabwe, we are filled with joy and gladness in what God has done through us. During this last week and a half, we conducted 4 eye camps and saw over 500 patients. […]
Dear Friends and Supporters, We continue to see great and wonderful things as we work and minister here. We have been in Zimbabwe for over a month now, and our schedule remains busy as we encounter the great needs of the people. Steve has been teaching at the Richard Morris Eye Hospital, and this trip he also had a new and wonderful event in his career. Our daughter, Rebekah, her husband and children joined us […]
Dear Friends & Supporters, Time is moving fast here, and our schedule has been full. We recently travelled to the southern border of Zimbabwe to conduct an eye camp at a citrus estate (this farm is projected to ship 34,000 tons of oranges around the world this year). We were hosted by the owners who were very gracious to us. Traveling with us were two local couples from our church here, and they were astounded […]
