These surgeries included cataract removal that had developed to the point of blindness, pterygium, and strabismus. The patients included adults and children from rural regions of Togo without access to eye care. Thousands in rural Togo remain blinded by preventable eye diseases, and our mission is to bring eye care to all. 18042 0 0 Our farming program has been shifting from being solely a training platform to a platform for hosting those we find who are ostracized or displaced from society. While agriculture is at the heart, we want the farm to be for the benefit of those we take in. This shift is happening slowly, considering long-term infrastructure rather than short-term goals. The main challenge we learned as an agriculture training program is that it is tough for people to put aside a farming season to learn modern farming techniques. While we always want to offer training, the farm needs to be for the immediate benefit of people in need. 24184 0 0 Since our work began in 2012, eye surgeries have proven an excellent conduit for sharing the gospel. Togo and the neighboring nation, Benin, are the birthplaces of the voodoo religion. As a result of voodoo beliefs, many of our patients believe they are blind due to being cursed. But once sight is restored, that belief is dismantled, and our ministry team shares the message of Jesus. Our ministry team is constantly amongst our patients, loving on and ministering to them. They share the gospel with our patients and their families during surgery, followed by a week of ministry outreach within our patient villages. In 2023, we estimate the gospel had been shared with 6,852 people. 0 0 0 393603 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 4 1 0 1 TO 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 9 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 X Lewis Swann 9035744704 110 N College Ave STE 210 Tyler TX 75702 Lewis Swann Executive Director 40 0 X 66540 0 0 Kenneth Cargill Board Chair 4 0 X X 0 0 0 Mike Jacobson Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Daniel Turner Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Dr Edward Kondrot Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Richie Fike Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Alec Kitt Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Rachel McPhail Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Ryan Peterson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 66540 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 453604 157236 453604 0 874 874 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 454478 874 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 66540 33270 13308 19962 84612 60126 19109 5377 0 0 0 0 395 395 0 0 3000 750 1800 450 8198 3551 2709 1938 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22974 41 22933 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 33586 33542 44 0 12613 0 84 12529 7584 1251 4472 1861 7072 211 5891 970 0 0 0 0 11901 1626 10169 106 23534 20222 2952 360 0 0 0 0 9815 2176 7432 207 1915 875 1040 0 0 0 0 0 11662 11662 0 0 168 0 168 0 Supplies & Equipment 208229 208217 12 0 Food 4736 4736 0 0 Vehicle Expense 6946 6946 0 0 Bank & Merchant Fees 3113 756 2357 0 3780 3250 490 40 532373 393603 94970 43800 143328 58021 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10536 12548 0 0 152 233 158863 45447 114444 113416 0 0 0 0 0 268460 184218 10463 8916 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 34464 29664 44927 38580 X 67899 112105 155634 33533 223533 145638 268460 184218 -77895 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 605116 319028 481077 410252 454904 2270377 605116 319028 481077 410252 454904 2270377 759131 1511246 746 874 1620 2271997 0.66516 0.78111 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 10526 0 10526 71954 0 29415 42539 0 0 0 0 76383 0 16032 60351 0 0 0 0 113416 Sub-Saharan Africa 1 9 Program Services Medical Services, Ministry and Farming 393602 1 9 393602 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 157236 FMV 1 0 1 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A draft of the return will be presented to the full board for their review.
