On March 9th, the first cataract surgeries were performed at the Gamerstsfeder Mission Center in Frome, Jamaica. The Gamerstfelder Mission Center is a project of the Church of the Nazarene, Jamaica West District. It houses medical, optical, dental and educational facilities, as we believe in ministering to the total man.
In the first moth, our team of surgeons and eye care professionals treated more than 170 eyes, performing 142 cataract surgeries and 30 glaucoma procedures. Many who came blind, left with recovered sight and changed lives.
One of those amazing lives was Clementine. Blind, she had waited through years of delays with her doctors. She had once again been told by her doctors that she would have wait another 6 months for her surgery. Clementine came to the mission Center, determined to recover her sight.
Testimony Clementine:
I’m glad to know that I can see, and I can move around here, there and everywhere, and I can all wash a piece of clothes and I can go to the yard in the morning wake up I can see the sun and I could not see it before, and I’m thankful and I see my children and grandchildren when I’m carrying something I can see it now but first time I couldn’t, now, I’m glad, to know that I can see out the one, you know? And I give praise, you know? I was going to church but I am not a Christian, s I feel myself like I could baptize and be a Christian.
Thank you for the amazing team of doctors, assistants, office, staff, volunteers ad everyone who has given to make this ground – breaking moment possible.
This is just the beginning…
