Now Eye See, a project under Southern’s Enactus program, has plans to expand their program by incorporating evangelical opportunities into its medical mission.
Two years ago, as part of the club’s work, Southern’s sector formed the program, Now Eye See, which helped Southern partner with opthamologist, Dr. Jacob Prabhakar, who is stationed at the Ruby Nelson Memorial Hospital in Punjab, India to help prevent blindness by offering cataract treatment.
In previous years, Enactus raised awareness and funding for the project by selling t-shirts on campus. This year, Now Eye See has plans to expand its mission by providing Godpods, solar and battery-powered audio players, containing the Bible, the Conflict of the Ages, Steps to Christ and an Adventist evangelistic series in up to two languages to create new bridges for evangelism in India.
“The idea is to extend Christ’s healing hand through His word in India,” said James Carl Brown, Southern’s Enactus president “The idea is providing more than just operational support to Dr. Prabhakar; we want to expand on the mission by introducing evangelism.”
Dr. Prabhakar will provide Ellen White’s Steps to Christ to all of his patients but the problem is that 75% or so are all illiterate. To combat this problem, Now Eye See is attempting to raise $100,000 by May 2020 to purchase 4,000 Godpods as an auditory option for patients.
The organization will be raising the money through sales of their new t-shirts which will be sold on the promenade next month for 20 dollars each.
