Musings on the Word of God and the Gospel of Christ
Ghana Eye Clinic – Day 2
We’re all settled in and things are going great! Today, we saw 256 people and shared the gospel with each one of them. We also gave away 220 pairs of glasses. Four of the people we saw were deaf. Thankfully, our team leader, Julie, is great with sign language! Our clinic closed a little early because Ghana was playing against Egypt in a big football game (that would be “soccer” to us), qualifying them for the World Cup. After our day at the clinic, we stopped by some local markets and perused some of the local wares.
Here are some pictures. I’ll post more soon.
Does this thing come with a snooze button? Good morning!
If you think San Antonio rush hour is bad, you ought to try morning traffic in Accra!Two terrific pastors assisted in helping triage patients, figuring out what glasses they needed and sharing the gospel with them.Michael and Arnold are hard at working, making glasses for all sorts of different prescriptions.Julie signs to a deaf man so he can understand what glasses he needs.The girl on the left came in yesterday, but we couldn’t offer her treatment without her mother. Today, both mother and daughter came in and received glasses!I’m pretty sure Julie is working on a passport for this little man so she can bring him home. She didn’t want to let him go!Pam and our host in Ghana, Ivan, screen people for reading glasses.There was plenty of fresh fruit at the street market.Pam made a new friend with one of the street vendors!
