A Glimpse of God's Handiwork

The Living in Faith clinic in Haiti is led by Dr. Russ Montgomery and his clinical staff and they have helped thousands of Haitians with their vision.  Russ has been serving there for years.  It is a country of great need and eye surgeons are always needed.

Take a few minutes (2:48) to watch the video and read the reflections of a Medical Student who went on a short-term trip to get a glimpse of the tremendous work Russ and his teams can do on a short term trip.

Reflections

I went on my first medical mission trip to Haiti. The medical team consisted of six people: Dr. Cindy Volpe (an ophthalmologist), Michael (her husband), Shay (ophthalmic technician), Shalanda (surgical technician), Russ (the optometrist who leads this medical ministry), and me. As a medical student, I had the privilege of doing a bit of everything including preparing patients for surgery, teaching the clinic staff, and capturing memorable moments on camera. The three surgery days on this trip typically began around 8 AM and finished as late as 9 PM. Through it all, I saw God’s handiwork and felt His presence during my interactions with the medical team, clinic staff, and patients.
