EYE FOR GOD MINISTRIES

The purpose of Eye for God Ministries is to spread the
Gospel of Jesus Christ.

This is a 501(c)(3) approved non-profit organization that is fully recognized by the Internal Revenue Service.

        There are several areas that the ministry utilizes to achieve this goal:

Mission Trips. Provide an opportunity for people to participate in mission trips. This is done through sponsorship of people for missions trips as well as paying for airfare or other fees.

Surgery. Provides free (or at minimal charge) surgical rehabilitation of patients around the world. The surgeries typically involve those performed by Dr. Bowden.

Technological Advances. Provides spiritual and health care for persons around the world. This involves telemedicine and use of other technologies to allow evaluation of the patient from a distance.
