Thank you very much to all who have given their used glasses through our missions program. We recently mailed 65 pair of glasses to MOST ministries who sent them all over the world and fit them to people who need that prescription strength. Right now, Most Ministries are in need of sunglasses. It also helps if you have glass cases you are not using. The cases protect the glasses when we mail them. God bless you for all your contributions. If you have any questions you can call 777-1625 and ask for Jan.
