Eyeglasses to see the Lord and the world. 1

Why do I work in optical ministry? 2

-2-

• Came from a strong Christian background. • Have a strong desire to bring others to Christ. • Traveled to Honduras in 1999 to “Pay back the Lord”. • The Lord had a plan for me. • Returned with a God given PASSION to do it better. • Formed Kendall Optometry Ministry, Inc. in 2003.

I found eyeglasses to be a key accelerant in Christian ministry. Glasses not only allow a person to read their Bible and learn more about the Lord but they also help them improve their standard of living. When you are starving can you really think about becoming a Christian? 3

Success Stories 4

BEFORE

and

This man came into the clinic and was blind in one eye and could barely see with the other. Since he could not see, he was without a job. He never attended church. We gave him a pair of glasses, a new Bible and invited him to start attending the local church.

February 2004

AFTER

Now this man has a job. He and his family are healthy and happy and he is a regular attendee at church. Notice that he is still wearing the same pair of eyeglasses. Eyeglasses and the Lord changed his life.

February 2006 5

-5-

A pair of eyeglasses is 1 year of wages for this man.

This man’s shirt is not dirty. It is threadbare and you can see his skin through it. We gave him glasses, a Bible & a new shirt.
