No, Nigeria is not in the United States and Yes, Paul Weingartner is the U.S. Missions National Representative for the blind. However he has been invited by Healthcare Ministries to travel with a team to Nigeria. He will set up a Braille translation system at a school for children who are Blind. His duties will include training leaders in blind skills, teaching games for children who are blind, and meeting with officials in the Nigerian educational system and whatever comes up.
Too accomplish this Paul has to raise $3500 very quickly. $500 of this will be for toys and games.
This two week adventure will take place right before Christmas. It will affect the future of many Nigerian children.
If you would like to participate In bringing hope and opportunity to the lives of many blind Nigerian children, please pray, now! The CftB has no funds to spare for this project. You can help with a generous contribution. Please got to the FINANCIAL SUPPORT link or call Contributors Services 1-877-840-4800. It is imperative that you designate your gift to the Nigerian Project-Blind (48)
Look for a good report in January,
Welcome to the home page of the Center for the Blind of the Assemblies of God. The CftB offers a wide variety of Christian resources for blind children and adults. With blindness and vision impairments on the increase in the United States, the need for the CftB grows daily.
New technology offers fresh opportunities for making information available to the Blind and those whose vision is diminishing. Unprecedented methods exist to offer pictures, puzzles and games to the Blind that were only available to those with good vision. The CftB is making every effort to use this technology to set a higher standard in literature for the Blind.
Please take the time to review this website and <www.blindonline.org> . Please contact the CftB for more information.

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14
I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame. Job 29:15
This slogan reflects our firm belief that blindness and visual impairment should not hinder a person's relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Our primary objective is to see the Blind and Visually Impaired come to know Christ and grow in His knowledge and grace. We are a General Council of the Assemblies of God Home Missions ministry. Please give us the honor of serving you or someone you know. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
