Recently, Dr. Jérémie Agré, in collaboration with a medical team from Oklahoma, led the Mobile Eye Clinic – CIV in providing eye care to the population around Doropo, Ivory Coast.  Like many remote areas, Doropo does not have an eye surgeon, and the hazaderous road conditions make it extremely difficult to get to the region.  Read about their journey and the amazing story of Songile Pale. 

Also, learn about the great work the Mobile Eye Clinic did with Washington eye surgeon, Dr. Mark Cichowski, in the capital city of Abidjan.

Both Tim and Laurel Kietzman thought God might eventually send them overseas, but they had no idea how that would happen.  Life as doctors was always so busy and THE CALL just never came! Tim staffed three separate clinics as a comprehensive ophthalmologist, while Laurel not only practiced emergency medicine but homeschooled their four boys. Often their schedules were so different they hardly even said “hi” to each other.

One day, a family friend and one of Tim’s mentors came to visit. Dr. Harold Adolph, a general surgeon who had worked all over the world in understaffed mission hospitals, shared gripping experiences and shocking photos. He explained how certain surgeries, like vesicovaginal fistula repair, and even more so, the gift of sight through cataract surgery could have huge impact on a person and their community. Already, Tim and Laurel were deeply involved in giving to many overseas ministries, but they were shocked when Dr. Adolph declared, "Tim, I think YOU are called to go to Niger."
