Dear friends, Let it be known that it has rained almost daily for the past 3 weeks here in Bulawayo and we give thanks to God for sending the rain. It has been an amazing 5 weeks.

Dear Friends of Eyecare To The Needy, All we can say is… we hit the ground running in Zimbabwe. We arrived last Sunday, February 8th, with a team of eight from Brookstone School in Columbus, GA. Once unpacked, the team loaded two vehicles and headed to visit two children’s homes that we support. The Brookstone students were able to tour each of them. Sunday came to a wonderful end as our pastor, from Bulawayo Baptist, and his […]

Jane’s sister, Jennifer joined us for her first international mission trip. […]

Dearest Friends – As I (Jane) write in between washings of Steve’s surgical instruments, we are thankful to Mater Dei Hospital here in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, for their assistance in helping folks restore their physical eyesight. Steve has a wonderful surgical staff of nurses that continue to learn and assist in surgery. Over the last 15 years, we have come to know and truly appreciate each one of them. Most hospitals here always take a thirty-minute […]

This past week has been busy with unpacking and sorting the items from last year’s container that arrived the day of our departure last fall. We were blessed to have two representatives from Brookstone school in Columbus, […]
