Lewis and his wife Naomi started Sight.org in 2012. God showed him a great need in Togo as he was traveling through West Africa. He couldn’t go back home without doing something about it. Now hundreds of people in Togo are having their sight restored every year.

Team Assistant

Jeanaway was blind and did not know Christ. Lewis and the team led him to Christ a few years ago. He now serves with our team in various ways.
