Joseph had lost his sight to mature cataracts. In fact, it’d been years since he’d been stripped of his vision. And now he lived in darkness.
Joseph could rarely leave home.
But when he heard about our Jewish Voice Medical Outreach, he suddenly felt a spark of hope.
Joseph is just one example of the kind of despair we encounter in our Medical Outreaches throughout Ethiopia and Zimbabwe.
So many Jewish people and their neighbors in these areas have no other help or hope to restore their eyesight, heal their bodies and transform their lives.
That’s why the work we do together is so critical. You and I are the vehicles of God’s miraculous work to those He calls us to serve.
Through your support, you’re providing opportunities for Jewish people and their neighbors — in greatest need — to receive critical eye care, exams, eye surgeries and much more.
But more than that, through these efforts to restore sight, you’re also a part of opening the “eyes of their hearts” to experience and encounter the presence and power of the living God.
The following is excerpted and condensed from the booklet Shabbat: A Sacred Rhythm of Rest, by Jewish Voice Ministries International.
