Focus:

Spring Break Mission

We worked with Clear Creek Bible College [which is located in Eastern Kentucky] many of them partnered with us last year for family fest and they decided to comeback for Spring Break. They also worked with Impact Baptist Church with Pastor Ellis. We saw many lives impacted during their time with us.

Eye Glass Clinic

We worked with Focus on Missions and Oak Grove Baptist Church for an evangelistic eye glass clinic. We saw 100 hundred residents, fitted 90 with glasses, and shared the gospel with them and many others in the community. Please pray that God will continue to allow us to restore sight to the blind [physically and spiritually]
