Journey to Kenya
Spreading Hope, Sharing Love, Transforming Lives Through Sight!
In partnership with AIC Kenya Health Ministries and Chariots for Hope, we are excited to announce our upcoming eye care mission to Kenya from April 12-23. Our team of 12, including three optometrists, will be providing free eye exams to children and workers in three orphanages and their local communities.
A heartfelt thank you to the 97 individuals and families who partnered with us to make this possible by their prayers and generosity. We look forward to positively impacting lives through the gift of both physical and spiritual sight.
Stay tuned for updates on our journey!
