The difference between health and illness or sight and blindness is often characterized by the access one can have to medical care. The Zambia Eyeglass/First Aid team provides a unique opportunity to bring cost-free care to those who could otherwise not afford it nor have the means to travel to where it is offered. As you experience the beauty of the area landscape and the contagious smiles of the people, you will also have the privilege of sharing the message of true spiritual healing found in the Gospel. If you want to help others both physically and spiritually then this is the team for you.
After ten days of training in evangelistic techniques, first aid medical care and eyeglass testing at the Lord’s Boot Camp, your team will travel to the Teen Missions base in Ndola, Zambia. From Ndola, you will travel between several Teen Missions Rescue units in remote villages around Zambia to provide eyeglasses and first aid to the people around the unit who need it. While at the units, you will also have the opportunity to reach the people who come to your clinics with the care they need most of all, the Gospel. You will be able to employ the techniques you learned at Boot Camp to share the love of Jesus through puppet shows, dramas, Bible stories and games.
While in Zambia, you will also get to spend some time enjoying some of the incredible sights and experiences the country has to offer. You will travel to Livingstone, named after the famous missionary David Livingstone, to see one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World, Victoria Falls. While in Livingstone, you will also get to take an evening cruise on the Zambezi river, where you might see elephants, hippopotamuses, crocodiles and other wildlife under a not-to-be-missed African sunset. You will also be able to barter in the market for handcrafted souvenirs ranging from drums, to wooden animals, to woven baskets and more.
