Fourth Free Vision Clinic

TULSA – On March 1, 2020, the Tulsa Community Service Center (TCSC), comprised of area volunteers from Tulsa Seventh-day Adventist churches, partnered with the Better Vision Better Hope ministry of Oklahoma City to sponsor their fourth Free Vision Clinic. 

The outreach event administered 66 free eye exams and provided free glasses to each person in need. Food and drinks were provided along with ministerial counseling and prayer.

The mission behind this outreach is to reach those within the greater Tulsa area, providing much needed services and hope. The Tulsa Community Service Center is in its fifth year of operations and is close to finishing its year-long expansion at its 21st and Sheridan Lakewood location.

TCSC is the faithful commitment to outreach as inspired by our Lord and Savior, Jesus, through which the Holy Spirit thrives within the hearts of each volunteer. Our volunteers, from teens to seniors, each draw on their gifts from which they become qualified as they have been called. I was truly moved by our Lord's grace and His steady, calm spirit, which He revealed within each volunteer. Those being served saw the love of our Lord being shared by all our volunteers and churches. Each volunteer reached out to those in need, providing love and attention to those within our Tulsa community while drawing on our shared lessons of Jesus. Being able to serve with an experience outreach like this, touching and aiding another’s life,  while also bridging multiple languages and cultures, laughing and at times crying with the stresses, we all witnessed God’s grace in action.
