In this year's fight against blindness, our medical team performed 1,142 sight-restoring eye surgeries for blind people in Togo, Africa. 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.

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.

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.
