I remember one lady who could barely see, receiving a pair of glasses for the first time. Her face lit up like a young child on Christmas morning. She kept taking the glasses off and putting them on, hardly believing the enormous difference that a special lens could have on her eyesight. She handled her glasses with the utmost care, cradling them in her hand like a baby bird that had fallen from its nest.

While in Honduras, we were able to help over 800 people with eye-care needs. We had over 300 children in our Vacation Bible School each day. Many children made a first-time commitment to faith in Jesus Christ.

Our day began at 5:30 AM with prayer, breakfast at 6 AM, devotions at 6:30 AM and departure for work at 7 AM. We were able to collect enough money among our group to help several people with surgery. One young boy commented, "Today, I see for the first time."

We were able to visit the home of a lady in the little village where we set up the eye brigade. She poured us all a little cup of Pepsi. Then she showed us (from beginning to end) how to make tortilla dough and shape it into a perfect circle and fry it on top of her wood-burning stove. We were able to see many people this week. Some who desperately needed glasses received their very first pair.
