Brookfield Lutheran Thailand Mission: For us to serve

… for us to serve

The Team left Prachuap and went to Kuriburi Church to help serve in the eye glass clinic. We had the opening ceremony which included the District officials, mayor, Lutheran Hour Ministries team, BLC team and the Journey into Light team. Most importantly, 6 eye care professionals were there as well, along with members of the church.

The morning session at the clinic served 150 people providing them with the appropriate glasses and a case, a tote bag co-branded with the Kuriburi church and BLC, included some tracts and treats. We served an equal number of people in the afternoon and by week’s end will have handed out 1000 pair of glasses. The whole operation went very smoothly with 4 stations that included initial intake, evaluation, prescription determination then choosing of the glasses.

All the people were very gracious and thankful for the eyeglasses. The smiles on their faces spoke volumes about the significance of the teams work.

After dinner, we were able to have our team devotion on the pier and marvel in His creation. While in Thailand the Thai people display a servant’s heart and take great joy in doing acts of service. This helps us relate His command for us to serve. Matthew 20:28 says” just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” We all feel privileged to be serving the people of Thailand.
