The administration and staff at Crisis Response International shared the following:
”In our debrief on Friday night, our team expressed how emotionally moving the day was. The amount of work that got done was amazing. But greater was the camaraderie and love they saw displayed. The snippets of conversation heard...where adults were teaching and pouring life into the younger. How everyone was friendly and kind and joyful...that life was everywhere on the base. Our team was greatly moved, even to tears, over what they saw in your group. They all thank all of you. We wanted you to know you didn't just touch our base but our hearts also."
Seeing Clearly, Living Fully: A Project Faith Sponsor Spotlight
Dr. Eng has built a life—and a medical practice—centered on vision in every sense of the word. As an ophthalmologist, he cares for patients both medically and surgically, treating eye diseases, performing routine exams, and offering procedures such as cataract surgery, blepharoplasty, and LASIK. But for Dr. Eng, it’s about more than restoring sight—it’s about building relationships that last.

“It’s a great joy to help people improve their eyesight,” he shares. “Over the years, I’ve developed lasting connections with patients that encourage both them and me. That’s something really special.”
His passion for people and purpose is also what draws him to support Faith Christian School through Project Faith. “I love Faith Christian School and the impact it has on students—not just academically, but in equipping them to walk with the Lord throughout their lives,” he says.
Rooted in his Christian faith, Dr. Eng is guided daily by a verse that shapes both his work and home life: “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31). “That’s a lesson I strive to live by and pass on to my children,” he adds. “We all have different callings and gifts, but above all else, we’re here to glorify God.”
At Eye Care & Surgery, that mission continues. The practice is founded on values that align closely with those of Faith Christian School: excellence in work, love for people, and living out the Gospel. These principles guide every patient interaction and decision, making Eye Care & Surgery a place where faith and healing meet.

What is Project Faith?
Open or Close
Project Faith is an extraordinary undertaking to serve our community for the past 24 years. For one day, the entire school works at area organizations, lending time and energy to accomplish a multitude of tasks. Last year, nearly 500 students, parents, faculty, and alumni served Camp Bethel by painting, cleaning, landscaping, repairing, and organizing. These are projects the organization simply would not be able to complete due to budget and personnel constraints.

Our Purpose
Open or Close
We desire that our students understand the importance of honoring God by serving others. Project Faith provides students the opportunity to invest in their community by working for the good of others. In addition, students serve their school by asking for financial support.
