Naomi is an experienced, trained nurse, which comes into play when she is in Togo with Lewis and his team. After providing cataract surgery in the hinterlands of Togo, using their mobile ambulance as an operating room, they show the ‘Jesus movie’ to the recovering patients. At times, entire Muslim villages have come to know the Lord. Lewis and Naomi are expecting their first child this February.
