Community Vision Clinic

The Olympia Gospel Mission Vision Clinic recently received a HUGE donation, as outlined below. I've found that one of the biggest challenges is getting enough quality frames - we need ideally new frames that will stand up to the beating of everyday use, hopefully lasting for years, in a wide variety of styles so that the people we serve can get adequate cosmesis (I know. . .people who can't afford eye exams shouldn't be worried about this, but it's a real factor in many people's minds, and glasses only work if they're worn) for men, women, and children. And ideally for free (though we're more than willing to give a tax write-off!). We've been very blessed the past few years since operations started to not have any big concerns about where the next frames, monetary donations, or volunteers will come from. God provides. It's fun to see it happen in such real ways. Please pray that not only will people's physical eyes be given clarity, but that also that this Clinic, and more broadly the whole Gospel Mission, would be used to open people's eyes to see the great Provider & Savior we serve. And thank Him for 295 lives affected by this clinic in 2009.
