Eye glass clinic in Honduras

This past November 7 folks from The Cove Church and 3 from Trinity Church joined together to put on a eye glass clinic for the folks in Honduras.  The team was part of a trip that the North Carolina Baptist Men had arranged.  Pictures and recap from the trip.

"NCBM have on-site missionaries, Mike & Ginger Greene, in Choluteca, Honduras. They host construction and medical teams for week long projects throughout the year. God opened the door for us to conduct 5 eyeglass clinics. We worked in 3 different villages and were blessed to see 734 patients. As part of the clinic process, the patients go through a "counseling" station where we are able to share Jesus and pray with them. 37 people accepted Christ and many re-dedicated their lives. We also met up with Pastor Israel at the airport when we arrived in Tegucigalpa. He stayed with us at the mission house for the week. Pastor Israel and the Greene's talked about who might benefit from receiving smokeless stoves and 2 were installed during the week. Since we had plenty of people on the team, we were able to take on some painting at one of the churches as well as put in a bathroom and shower for 2 different families."
