What inspires us
eyeMobil was formed for the purpose of providing economical high quality equipment to serve the blind poor around the world but also to support Christian missionaries around the globe
Methods of Mission
We have found that there are many amazing national ophthalmologists and missionaries in the developing world that need collaboration and support to accomplish their mission serving where they serve beyond just equipment. Please see some examples of some of these
Terry Chege
Recent graduate ophthalmologist serving in rural hospital in Kenya. Top three values are: responsibility, integrity and diligence.
Joyce and Henri Samoutou
Henri is from Gabon and is trained in cataract surgery after studying eye surgery in the DRC. They are the founders of New Sight Eye Care in the DRC. They are dedicated to giving sight, through service in missionary hospitals.
John Cropsey
Dr Cropsey serves in Rwanda as a teaching professor at RIIO where he educates, mentors and equips national African doctors to serve the eyecare needs of their communities.
Mentoring and Support
We feel that establishing long term relationships between western ophthalmologists and national ophthalmologists serving in their country can be one of the strongest ways to accomplish and long term mission and can be life giving to both sides of the relationship.
Walk alongside as a mentor
Just like a music teacher that helps a student soar to new heights!
The Barnabus Mission
We challenge anyone wanting to be involved in mission to consider getting involved as a Barnabus mentor.

Glenn Strauss, MD
Being involved in mentoring for over 10 years on the Mercy Ships was one of the best ways that I could make a legacy that outlasts my ability to serve.
Dave Cooke, MD
I have enjoyed being involved with Diego Mejia over many years as a mentor and friend. Probably I learn more from him than he does from me at this point in our careers.
