A Vision for Congo

One of the projects that we are going to be working on this summer is "“A VISION for Congo"” -- meaning we are going to have a drive in the months of July and August (since they would need to be ready to go with Russell and Alex in September) to collect READING GLASSES to be distributed to some of the Congolese Christians who are unable to read their Bibles at home and at church, due to weak eyesight!!!

Our goal is to collect 250 pairs of these glasses -– they can be from the dollar store - –they just need to have a magnification level of 1.5-2.75, with most around 2.00. These reading glasses in Bunia would be too expensive for the average adult to buy...

We have a team leader for the project, now we NEED the rest of you to help!!! Here'’s how:

• ideas for the display, publicity, etc.
• team members to man the display in July and August so that we can answer any questions and collect the glasses
• help packing them so that they are easy for Russell and Alex to take with them in September
