Dear Friends of Eyecare; We have just completed this last chapter of work and ministry in Bulawayo and in the southern part of Zimbabwe. It has been a very busy and fairly intense interlude of mentoring, teaching, surgical training and hosting of both visiting doctors and friends and of fellowship with our local friends and colleagues. Dr. Gil Pebayle left us after a work-filled and fruitful time of teaching and service. However, the last few […]
Dear Friends of Eyecare; Another week has come and gone. Days are long, but these weeks are flying by. We greeted a new friend on Monday from France, Dr. Gil Pebayle. He is an eye specialist from a moderate size town near Bordeaux, and when he arrived, he went to work right away that afternoon upon arrival. We have spent the week both at Mater Dei at the Eye Center, and at the Richard Morris […]
Dear Friends of Eyecare To The Needy; Thank you for your continued prayers for us. We have just come through another busy week of work and service here in Bulawayo. Dr. Cris Larzo, a retina surgeon from Johnson City, Tennessee arrived a week ago. We put him to work immediately when he arrived with Steve and Julian Scales, an engineer friend of Steve’s. The three of them spent several hours installing a cooling fan on […]
Friends of Eyecare To The Needy; It’s good to report to you the wonderful things here that our Father has opened up for us in work and ministry in Bulawayo. Our theme verse for this trip has been Psalm 96:3-4 which says, “Sing to the Lord, bless His name; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day. Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all peoples”. We’ve had a very […]
Dear Friends; We are in the second week of our time in Bulawayo, and so much has been packed into these first few days here. On our flights over, we arrived in Addis Abiba, Ethiopia 30 minutes late with only 30 minutes to go before our flight to Bulawayo. As we disembarked from our US flight, the airlines agent met us at the bottom of the stairway off the plane. He drove us helter-skelter across […]
Dear friends and supporters: ( Resending this newsletter because we accidentally omitted Hugh Stephen’s name. Hugh just turned 2 years old and absolutely loves his “doc”.) We are getting ready and packing our bags for the next chapter of our work in Zimbabwe. We will be flying out from Atlanta, Georgia on Monday, June 30th. Our flight to Addis Abiba on Ethiopian Airlines will be 15 hours in length. We will have only one hour […]
Dear friends and supporters: We are getting ready and packing our bags for the next chapter of our work in Zimbabwe. We will be flying out from Atlanta, Georgia on Monday, June 30th. Our flight to Addis Abiba on Ethiopian Airlines will be 15 hours in length. We will have only one hour layover (we need to have our running shoes on) until we catch the next 4 hour flight to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Please uplift […]
Dear friends of Eyecare; We just arrived back in the US after a long journey with a couple of ‘hiccups’ in the schedule. Ethiopian Airlines informed us when we reached Addis Abiba that our flight to Atlanta, Georgia had been cancelled. They rerouted us to Washington DC, and fortunately, we were able to catch another flight to Atlanta a few hours later. During our last week in Bulawayo, Steve saw patients in consultation, gave lectures, […]
