The Amazing Work of Seva Canada
Presented by: Katie Judson, Program Director for Seva Canada and child of John and Cindy Judson.
Ninety percent of vision loss can be prevented or treated. Blindness and poor vision can keep people, families and communities trapped in a cycle of poverty and lost opportunity. Millions of people around the world could see if only they had access to care. Seva Canada partners with eye care organizations in nine countries to provide sustainable, high-quality care to anyone who needs it. They do this through working with local partners to understand their population’s needs and develop culturally appropriate strategies to meet those needs.
Katie Judson, child of John and Cindy Judson and Program Director for Seva Canada will join us to describe the challenges and successes of building sustainable eye care service programs in low-income countries, explain Seva’s unique approach to international development, and their hopes for the future.
Katie has many years of public health experience including healthcare system management, healthcare policy, global health program development, and teaching. Prior to joining Seva Canada, she worked for MultiCare Health System, California Health Care Safety Net Institute, Seva Foundation, and was a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer.
Adult Bible Study | Room 204
Bible study is an ongoing and thorough investigation of the multi-dimensional Word of God. In this class, we also consider the insights of other translations and scholars to deepen our understanding of God’s continuing message of faithfulness to God’s people.
