Having
Gar Christenson with us on this trip has been
helpful
and an absolute gift
.
He has been fun to get to know and a great storyteller.
He has reminded me of the wonder of the people all around
us on the
trip. I
n some ways, I have gotten used to the amazing things going on
all around us.
A new set of eyes
is always instructive.
The
official
reason he
is here is to offer
eye
exams
(
He’s
Dr. Christenson, my eye doc)
, glasses,
medicine
and a few procedure
s for the pastors we serve, and the
staff that serve at the
compound here.
Health care, on
a number of
levels, is hard to come by
here
.
Many
simply
do without.
Today he started
giving
exams and has already put
smiles on some faces
as they donned their new glasses.
He has been engaging with all he meets, especially the kids. His faith, servanthood and good nature have been on full display and making this trip better regularly.
