Sight Ministries International
Hello again everyone! I hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a
blessed New Year! 2011 was a wonderful year for Sight Ministries and we
are looking forward to an even better year in 2012. Thanks for your
interest in this ministry.
We continue to make progress – expanding the Kingdom of God by working
with indigenous local pastor or missionaries, using basic eye care as a
platform to minister to those who are lost around the world. We are
seeing amazing work in the Church in Kenya – where churches are being
planted every couple of months to reach and serve those in need. We are
seeing the poor in Indonesia gather together to worship and pray for
their Muslim brother and sisters. We are seeing the Kuna Nation in
Panama come to Salvation. They all came because of an opportunity to
receive an eye exam and glasses, and they got that, but they also got
the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and many accepted and are
forever changed. Thanks for your part in this process! Your faithful
prayers, talents, time, and resources are what make it possible!
As I said earlier 2011 was an amazing year. Our system for meeting the
eyeglasses needs of those we see continues to develop. We started out
the year with spherical lenses only between +4.00 and -4.00. We have
added cylinder lenses on all the whole diopters at -1.00 and -2.00 at 90
& 180 axis each. We are hoping to add a bi-focal capability in
2012. Thank you again for those that have so faithfully support the
development of this system.
In 2011 we had the pleasure of starting new partnerships. We met Jim
Schneider with Eyes of Faith. If you haven’t heard of Eyes of Faith I
would like to strongly encourage you to check them out at - http://www.eyesoffaithoptical.com/home.
We had the pleasure of having Jim on our trip to Kenya this past
October. After he returned he felt the Lord’s leading to start a new
innovative promotion called Wear & Share. Simply put, for every
Eyes of Faith frame sold, they donate a complete pair of glasses to be
dispensed on the mission field thru Sight Ministries International. We
are excited over the implication of such a program. This is an easy way
for your practice or office to help us with our mission to spread the
love of Jesus Christ worldwide. Check it out - http://www.eyesoffaithoptical.com/wear-share-partners.html
2012 is shaping up to be a very busy year. We are going to need your
help more than ever! Below is our calendar of trips with estimated
cost. Please review and prayerfully consider what part you might have
with us.

I woke up my wife, Amy, from a very deep sleep on a Sunday morning September 28th, 2008.
“I have an idea to start an eyewear company that honors God.”
Amy rolled over and said, “You’re crazy, go back to bed.”
I convinced her that I wasn’t that crazy and she warmed up to the idea that day. As it turned out, Vision Expo West was happening that same week. “If we are thinking of starting an eyewear company,” she said, “we need to go to Vision Expo.”
