In a few weeks I will be traveling with our Mexico team to minister to the Totonaca people group. I am really looking forward to working with Dr. Rick Russell and the medical and dental team that go each April and October minister to physical and spiritual needs.

My assignment with the team will entail setting up and running the eye glass clinic. Each place we will work there will be an area for sight testing. Following a basic sight test people will be able to get a pair of over the counter reading glasses to help them in their daily task.

I would like to ask you to help me gather the glasses that are needed for this ministry. If you would like to be a part of this trip in a tangible way you can stop by any Wal-Mart, Dollar Store, Dollar Tree, Big Lots, or any other retail store that sell reading glasses. The amount they cost doesn’t matter, the style doesn’t matter, but the lens magnification does matter.

We are in need of men’s and women’s reading glasses that are +1.0 through +2.25. Basic colors will probably work the best. I am hoping to take 400 – 500 pair of reading glasses when we travel. Please drop them off at the office by April 8th.

If you would like to donate money toward the purchase of the glasses you can send your check to LifePoint Church, 506 Legacy Drive, Smyrna, TN 37167 (attn. Mexico reading glasses).
