"The mission of See Him Ministries is to share the love of Jesus Christ by providing humanitarian relief and developmental assistance to the poor of Haiti," officials said.
See Him Ministries began with a local Chattanooga optometrist, Luckson Previl. He is a full-blooded Haitian with a dream to help his people. A local dentist, Dr. Larry Grant, an elder at Clear Creek Church of Christ in Hixson, met him as a teenager and offered to pay for his college tuition in America. While many Haitians want to escape the poverty, Dr. Previl chose to use his opportunities to help his country. People around the U.S. have joined in the dream and a new medical clinic and eye center are almost complete in the city of Cap Haitian in northern Haiti. Clear Creek Church of Christ sends medical teams to Cap Haitian every year but have never worked in a permanent location where follow-up patient care can be provided. The new eye center is expected to enhance medical and vision care in northern Haiti.
Concert tickets are $20, with 100 percent of ticket sales going to benefit this new ministry. Purchase tickets, make donations or find out more information at
