We would like to thank Eye Doc in a Box for the great support in helping our church to provide over 300 pair of glasses to a church we support in Brazil. The Eye Doc in a Box team was such a wonderful help with training, support, and information. We had 8 of our church members including several elders and deacons that made the trip. What a joy. Eye Doc In A Box is the complete package. When we contacted the church in Brazil and shared the ideal of making it possible for 200 of their church and community members to be able to see, to read, or see to drive or even see across the street, they said please bring them. In just two days they had 200 appointments for glasses set up and asked if it would be possible to get more. We called Eye Doc in a Box and they sent the needed glasses just in time to get on the plane to Brazil. We would highly recommend this as a great mission work for Christ. The ability to be able to read for the first time in maybe 10 or 20 years, or to be able to see the leaves in the trees blow in the wind - Wow!! This was used for a seed planting ministry in our case. The church has all the information on each person that attended and were all invited to the conference that weekend. Again what a blessing. Thank you Eye Doc in A Box.
Our friend Ricardo served in counselling and evangelism and told us that the last person that came through his counselling station was a well-dressed woman. He admitted that he had thought to himself that this woman probably wouldn't accept what he had to say. She didn't seem to be a person who had many needs. But he talked with her and she allowed him to present the message of the gospel to her. He told us that after he shared with her she didn't say anything and just began to cry. After a bit she told Ricardo that she had never heard the gospel presented clearly and that she understood it now. She prayed with him to accept Christ as her Lord and Savior.
“We had an amazing experience! Everyone is excited to go back next year! We feel the clinic went smoothly and thankful to have helped so many people.”
Larry and Milynn, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for turning me on to your incredible ministry ‘Eye Doc in a Box’. After participating for many years in worldwide mission trips involving mostly ‘building efforts’, I thought that my days of mixing concrete and building block walls on the mission field were primarily over. Discovering what Dr Curtis had started, and what you guys were so enthusiastically leading, has created a whole new and fulfilling mission opportunity for me and others in our congregation to pursue. Your ministry is addressing one of the most important physical needs that I now realize exists in areas where our church has projects, allowing us to bring the ‘gift of sight’ to the folks there, as well as in surrounding communities. It totally complements the medical and construction teams that we’ve been blessed to deploy. I was simply amazed how, with minimal training (that you guys so graciously provided…) and hardware, that our ‘vision team’ was recently able to enhance the lives of so many people in less than a week. The myriad of smiles and excitement folks displayed having been given a simple pair of glasses that allowed them to see clearly, many for the first time in their lives, was indeed heartwarming…and life changing! Coupled with the opportunity to witness and share the gospel, even leading some folks to Christ, was indeed a great privilege! On behalf of our team, thank you again for creating yet another opportunity for our folks to be HIS hands and feet.
