Friends:

Olga is back and Ammamma is making good progress. The last I have talked to her she sounded good. Before she couldn’t even talk. Olga’s cousin Vani is taking care of her right now. Thank you for your prayers. Olga and I will be in California with Brad and Pratima next week for Thanksgiving. You all have a Happy Thanksgiving.

God bless

Cataract Surgeries Become Bessing

Ben Hunsberger — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:19:52 +0000

This past Sunday we completed another nine cataract surgeries. One of the beneficiaries was a 76 year old Brahmin woman. She went to some of the most famous eye hospitals and they said they wouldn’t operate on her as her cataracts were too far gone. This means she has to live blind the rest of her life. She heard of our name through some other people in the area and came over. Our surgeon removed her cataracts and they think that the surgery was successful. She stayed a day or two extra in our hospital and went home praising. We now have a very good name and image in the surrounding villages and patients are coming from these farther away villages. This woman lives at least 50 miles away. That’s very far by Indian standards. In terms of difficulty in travelling, it’s like coming from a distance of 500 miles here. Praise God.
