Pictured below is a large vacant school building that's available and desperately needed by MTB as a headquarters and training facility. It isn't far from the present rented headquarters but is much larger and will provide ample space for continued growth and more aid to blind people. This is how it looks now, empty and neglected. |
The owner has agreed to sell the 30,000 square foot building for a 'steal' price of $8.00 per sq.ft. In the US that wouldn't buy a decent floor, and even in India it is a God-sent bargain! If 240 churches or Sunday School Classes or individuals with a heart for God will give $1000 each.....a dream can come true! |

Why and how? First the 'why'. The MBT missionaries, faithfully trusting God for support and direction, prayerfully sense His desire to meet their expansion needs. Many more of the lost and hurting blind people can be reached.
The 'how' is for God's caring children to respond. Hundreds of believers in the US joining together can help so many others, no one being over-burdened. Just think! God is doing something great and wants to let us in on it! He will use us to bless the precious missionaries and so many struggling souls that have no hope. "Isn't that just like Jesus?"

Imagine the rooms and hallways of this great structure alive with activity.
Just imagine the tremendous surge of relief as hopeless- ness turns to joy for the rejected, abandoned, defeated.
Think of a beaming Savior, the rejoicing over each repentant sinner who comes to Christ.
IMAGINE!

MTB held a special youth rally for blind children. Five young fellows heard about Jesus and how He loves blind people. They responded by opening their hearts to Him. One was a boarding student in a secular school for blind children. He and the others returned to their homes full of excitement and hope! Upon arriving he joyfully told his parents what he had done. To his dismay his Hindu parents disowned him, putting him out of their house. He's a young boy, mind you, totally blind. The village elders heard and ordered him banned from the village. With help from a friend he finally got back to the boarding school, only to again be turned away because he had accepted Jesus. The MTB worker rescued him and took him in till another place could be found. MTB missionaries are God's touch to the blind! We who give are God's touch to the missionaries! |

Here are some pictures and stories of the outreach to blind people... |
| "... Go quickly . . . and bring in hither the poor, the maimed, the halt and the blind." . . . Jesus |
 |

|
Moses, a blind person, uses a Braille typewriter to answer requests for counsel from blind people. |
Scripture portions are neatly wrapped in old newspaper to be mailed to blind inquirers. |
 |
New staff, both sighted and blind, are regularly being trained to go quickly and bring the blind to the Master. Ten more candidates will begin training soon, for which $7000 will be required for preparation and salaries for a year. Opportunity. |

What happens? These blind ladies have just opened their hearts to Jesus! One goal is to work closely with local churches where the new converts will have support. While there are affluent blind like these who need to hear our Master's call, so many others struggle for daily bread. Come see what some do to live.
