Gamertsfelder Mission Centre
a Work & Witness project
Dr. Paul Gamertsfelder started Men in Missions
in 1974. Men in Missions was changed to Work & Witness in
1984, and has been the catalyst for more than 150,000 Nazarenes
having hands-on experiences on mission fields throughout the world.
This building will be named for this very special servant and his
life's work in the field of optometry will be carried on inside its
walls. To God be the glory! Construction was started in early 2008 by Work &
Witness teams from across the country. This 10,000 square foot
clinic & daycare center is being built in Frome, Jamaica.
Dr. Paul's daughter, Adria Schumann, and two others with Wesley United
Methodist Church in Bloomington, Il, were interviewed on WJBC,
"The Voice of Central Illinois". Click on the image

The two who are sponsored by Mission of Sight and Professional Eye Care (CVS) are Brittanya, in the middle, and Romario, on the right. (The girl in yellow is from Mandeville and a third year student at SA.)...read the full letter
