Dr. Ming Wang is a personal friend of mine, and one thing I can say from knowing him is this: he is truly unselfish. His story of the amniotic membrane contact lens, or AMCL, is not only a story of medical invention. It is a story of what can happen when an inventor decides that healing people matters more than owning every possible benefit.

The AMCL technology was designed to help the surface of the eye heal. According to Wang Vision's AMCL page, Dr. Wang invented the technology, published scientific work about it, and obtained two U.S. patents: U.S. Patent Nos. 5,932,205 and 6,143,315. The same page describes AMCL as a natural healing lens that uses the scarless fetal wound-healing properties of the amniotic membrane to help damaged ocular surfaces recover.

What makes the story extraordinary is not only the invention. It is what Dr. Wang chose to do with it.

At the heart of the The 917 Society mission is a simple but powerful goal: place pocket copies of the United States Constitution directly into the hands of America’s eighth-grade students.

For Dr. Ming Wang, that mission is deeply personal. As president of the organization’s Founders Club and a longtime supporter of the effort, Dr. Wang brings a perspective shaped not only by his professional accomplishments, but by his life story as an immigrant who experienced life without freedom before discovering it in America.

On 3/3/26 Tues 11:45am, at TN State Library and Archives, Dr. Ming Wang, a Harvard & MIT graduate (MD, magna cum laude) and one of the few laser eye surgeons in the world today who holds a PhD in laser physics, will present a talk “The Eye Convinced Me There’s A God”. The film “Sight” (FREE link: sight.drmingwang.com) is based on Dr. Wang’s autobiography “From Darkness to Sight”, and his faith journey is also featured in the award-winning Christian film “God’s Not Dead”. For info about the 3/3 talk: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., 615-525-3314.

In this presentation, Dr. Wang will tell the story how he, just like the student in the film “Sight” and “God’s Not Dead”, came to America as a staunch atheist, and believed that science will save mankind. Fascinatingly, it was in the study of the science of human eye, where he discovered the powerful clue and evidence for the existence of a creator! Dr. Wang will talk about the complexity of the human eye, from visual signal capturing, processing to interpretation, and how the science has led Dr. Wang to God! And how life has taught him the Creator is Jesus Christ!

Angel Studios’ award-winning film “Sight” (FREE link: sight.drmingwang.com), is based on my autobiography From Darkness to Sight, and tells the story of invention of amniotic membrane contact lens, a technology that has transformed the world and givenvision back to millions.

The film shows my attempts to restore the eyesight of Kajal, a five-year-old Indian orphan whose stepmother intentionally and maliciously blinded her by pouring sulfuric acid into Kajal’s eyes, in the belief that a blind “orphan” singer begging on the streets brings in more money. I ask you, who is truly blind here? Kajal or her stepmother? But I believe in an all-seeing, merciful God, who led the Wang Foundation for Sight Restoration to find Kajal and bring her to America.

Dr. Wang Mingxu (MD, Harvard Medical School/MIT; PhD in Laser Physics; CEO of Aier US; the inspiration for the American film *Sight* (free link: sight.drmingwang.com ) ) suggests, based on the latest research published in *JAMA*,

5 things to do to prevent Alzheimer's:
1. Learn new things (building new brain connections!);
2. Spend more time with friends;
3. See clearly (treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, presbyopia, and cataracts), hear clearly ( hearing aids);
4. Exercise, eat a healthy diet (vegetables and protein);
5. Avoid head injuries.

A decade ago, it was difficult to find quality faith-based entertainment. Today, though, such options are seemingly endless. 

Christian titles are available on platforms like Netflix and Prime Video, alongside dedicated faith-based streaming services. Meanwhile, Christian titles arrive almost every month in theaters.

And despite what you may have heard, the best films in this genre can stand up to the best of mainstream entertainment. Everything in the faith genre has leveled up -- the storytelling, the production quality, the performances. Today’s faith-based movies are light years ahead of yesteryear’s. 

Compiling a best-of list is always difficult. For starters, you have to ask: What is a Christian film? For this compilation, we’re using a straightforward definition: a movie with strong Christian themes. It also needs to be generally family-friendly. To keep it simple, this list only includes movies released in theaters. 

Here are the 12 best Christian movies of 2024, in alphabetical order.
