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 […]
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 […]
