Dear Friends and Supporters, Well, we are wrapping up our time in Zimbabwe for 2016, and as we reflect on this trip spanning almost 2 months, we are thankful to God for the successes and accomplishments in ministry to the people of southern Zimbabwe. We gave hundreds of donated pairs of glasses to patients at 7 eye camps, performed surgery at 3 different hospitals, delivered 18 lectures and shared God’s love to many who came […]
Dear Friends of Eye Care To The Needy, It is amazing to think our time of 2 months here is quickly disappearing and we will soon head back to the states. This blog is a bit longer because of so many “firsts” we want to share! We trust you will enjoy and be blessed by them. Once again, we ventured to a new place of ministry at the Mpisini Clinic where Steve saw many patients […]
Dear Friends of Eyecare To The Needy, Greetings from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe! We trust you all are doing well. It is amazing to think that I (Jane) have already been in country for 3 weeks and tomorrow will be 2 weeks for Steve. This year, a group of 4 guys, all high school seniors from Columbus, GA, joined our team with Jeri Stewart (her 7th time coming to Zimbabwe) and her daughter, Christina. We spent the […]
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. We are now into our last week before we head back to the states on Monday. We wanted to give an update about our 2 most recent eye camps. One was located about 3 hours from here in […]

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 […]
Dear Friends and Supporters: We have arrived back in the US, and want to thank you once again for your prayers and thoughts while we were in Zimbabwe and South Africa these last six weeks. Looking back at all God did, we rejoice and thank Him for using us to help so many, and for protecting and providing for us and those who came alongside to help. It was a wonderful honor to serve, meet new colleagues […]
Dear Friends and Supporters of Eyecare to the Needy, We send you this update of our mission and work with fullness in our hearts over all that has been accomplished since we last wrote. The time has flown and as we prepare to depart from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe to Cape Town, South Africa, we thank God for His protection and provision in so many ways. Two weeks ago, Steve spent the week in consultation and surgery with […]
Cecil the Lion……well, we cannot tell you much about that incident but we can tell you what God has been doing through us these past few weeks. We had the wonderful privilege of having our family with us and just said good-bye to them today. Our Internet has not been good; this is being sent via Thomas Carroll upon his return to the states. Jane’s sister, Jennifer joined us for her first international mission trip. […]
