GLC is very proud to support two missionaries serving overseas in different areas of service.

Dr. Anderson is the founder of Global Eye Mission (2008). After a long history of short-term medical mission involvement with Bethesda Mission Hospital, Dr. Anderson accepted an invitation to help their newly-graduated Indonesian ophthalmologist establish a long-term eye program to serve the poor of the region. GEM expanded its focus recently to the countries including Kenya, Tanzania, Gabon, Ecuador, Peru and areas of Central Asia.

ELCA's YouTube Video Featuring Rick Steves

Join noted travel author and public television host Rick Steves as he lays out his personal philosophy- and theology-about the nature of "faithful travel." Steves asks fellow travelers to consider the impact of their travel on the people they meet, to delve deeply into the wonder of God's created world - and God's people - and to think carefully about how their travel helps (or hinders) matters of peace and justice.

The affable television host reveals his sense of personal mission and poses some difficult questions about how travel changes lives forever. In short, this video is NOT the usual Rick Steves' travelogue, but takes viewers inside the soul of this remarkable servant of Christ.
