Approximately 90% of patients receive free eye care treatment and surgeries. We are staffed with Kenyan National ophthalmologists and clinic technicians. In 2023, we treated 39,528 patients at our 2-acre eye center campus located in Mombasa; three satellite locations 1-3 hours from our main base; and rural and remote eye camps for underserved areas in East Coastal Kenya. We restore sight to the blind and thereby lift poor families who can then return to the trade to survive and children who can gain an education by starting or returning to school. Since expanding our eye care services to now include retina and glaucoma, our patient volume increased in 2023. We are now considered the major hub for complete eye care services in East Africa!Fellowship of Churches: Established to spread the Gospel and provide spiritual growth for Kenyan Nationals by planting local churches. What began in 1969 with one very small church on our Mombasa campus building roof, has now grown to 105 established and thriving local congregations and lead by 77 pastors who have completed Bible college. Bible Institute: Establish to train young men and women in the Bible, English courses, evangelism, and various trades to help them gain good employment to support their families. It is estimated unemployment in East Coastal Kenya is around 70%. Since expanding our training facilities in 2021, our Mombasa campus annually trains 20 1st year Bible School students and can accommodate up to 40 in our 1-year program. We train 5 2nd year advanced students and have 9 pastors enrolled in higher education. Classes are held Monday through Friday with the students living in very nice on-campus dormitories. They return each weekend to their local communities to help their pastors. Many go on to pastor and establish new churches. Evangelism: A major contributor to our successful evangelism efforts is the use of internationally acclaimed Jesus film in their local language. We use mobile solar powered AV unit where we show a movie in remote bush communities. In 2023, 32,512 heard a clear gospel message with 2,751 coming to Christ. Gift Policy The Mission adopted a gift acceptance policy that requires the review of any non-standard contributions at their Spring 2013 board meeting.
