Groovy Guys

Doctors Paul and Ken after finishing their mission

A couple of guys came down from the States to do a medical outreach to the villages around Tlaxiaco. Both of them eye specialists, they came to give exams and prescribe and distribute glasses to the people in the villages who otherwise would go without. They encountered a problem getting their cases containing 3,000 pairs of eyeglasses through customs. Down at GFM, we prayed and called on the power of God to overcome the opinions of the governing officials at the Mexican customs department in the Oaxaca City airport. Three days of being told, "No way, Jose" (actually it was Dan), and they suddenly released the glasses without reason. The two doctors were able to spend the remaining days of their trip meeting the needs of the village people in a practical way. We were told there was no way the government would let them get those glasses into the country. But as we all know, nothing is impossible for God. Nothing.

ps. please be praying for all of us here at GFM as we deal with immigration and try to get our long-term work Visas approved. Thank you!
