Our host, Ivan, talks to the pastor who is the president of the Lutheran seminary in Ghana and is taking some time out of his busy schedule to share the gospel with hundreds during the eye clinic.
Tristina poses with one of our fabulous volunteers, Justice. Justice works hard routing people through the clinic to make sure everyone gets to the right place.
More of our fabulous volunteers! This devoted group sat outside all day in the hot Ghana sun welcoming visitors to the clinic.

This little boy’s name is Michael and our team has decided to “adopt” him. He has a degenerative eye disease and will need ongoing medical care to preserve what little vision that he has.

Our host, Ivan, has a friend, Mustapha, who works to build bridges between the Muslim and Christian communities in Accra. Thankfully, the relationships between Muslims and Christians are very good in Ghana. Mustapha has invited several of his friends to the clinic.
Tristina uses the portable autorefractor to measure a boy’s eyes for new glasses.

Ghana Eye Clinic – Day 1
Our first day in Accra, Ghana at the eye clinic was terrific! We saw 315 people who needed vision care and gave out 217 pairs of glasses. We also had an optometrist onsite to see people who had a whole host of eye care needs. Most importantly, we shared the gospel with everyone who came through our clinic. Through the glasses, we helped people see God’s world. With the gospel, we helped people see God’s Son!
