A Day Out for the Blind

On February 28 LHM—India, working in cooperation with The Prayer Fellowship of the Blind, held a gathering for a number of blind people living in the south Chennai area. People from all age groups, most of them non-Christians, and many blind from birth, gathered under a banyan tree at a church campus.

“The lives of these people are really hard, it’s unbelievable,” commented Rev. C. David, director of LHM—India. “Being an unprivileged and suffering section of the society they need some help for their livelihood.”

Each of the 80 blind people who attended the event received a little over 2 pounds of plastic wire (many of them earn a living weaving plastic garden chairs), as well a cassette tape of Gospel materials. Everyone enjoyed a full day of sharing songs, messages and testimonies.
