One of the Sustainable elements of your Impact through FAME is our Scholarship Program.  Students who are recommended by a FAME partner, make a commitment to study in their country, and serve the medical mission following graduation can qualify.  We thought you would like to get a glimpse of their locations, plans, and time of graduation! 

That is your impact!  Their long-term potential impact is exciting- we are seeing it play out from previous scholarship recipients.  Here are two examples:

Honduras –  A 2004 Scholarship recipient is now the Director of the Medical Clinic he visited as a child.  Additionally, he is teaching in the School of Medicine in Tegucigalpa! 

Kenya– the FAME Board just approved Phase One of many phases of a new Healthcare system in a remote and underserved region of that Country.  The lead Physician is Daniel Koitatoi, a recent graduate and FAME Scholarship recipient. 

The Sustainability of what YOU are doing around the globe is advancing the Kingdom of God! 

Thank you for your partnership!

Take More Naps! 

That’s what the email recommended to have an amazing 2022!  Well, that was number 16, before that there were excellent ideas:

• Talk to yourself in a more encouraging way. There’s no one else like you alive on the globe today.
• Write a “not to do list”.  –That caught my eye… 

But the one that stood out was

• Determine how you will impact other people in the world.  Be a world-changer! 

You have ALREADY figured that out!  At least to some degree, because as you partner with FAME you impact thousands of the world’s most neglected, ignored, and hopeless people by bringing help and hope through medical evangelism. 

Here’s how big your impact will be in 2022!!!

If tomorrow morning you received an email from EVERY PERSON YOU HELPED IN 2021 through FAME, and you decided to read each name and country for 5 seconds before you deleted the email.  It would take you 1380 hours, that’s 65 Days to read/delete the first Million emails!!! 

That’s when you’d need to take more naps!  

YOU ARE A WORLD-CHANGER!  YOU DO IMPACT OTHER PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. 

You can mark that off your list to figure out for 2022- now you just need to figure out how to

• Drink more water
• Exercise first thing every morning 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP AND GENEROSITY IN 2021!  This next year of 2022 has more needs coming our way from around the world- all opportunities for you to do what you are already doing!  Being a world-changer! 

Thank you, and God Bless you and your family in 2022!

The time has come again for the beginning of a new year. One of hope and promise. I recently ran across a quote from Charles Spurgeon that I felt was an appropriate goal for this coming year. As we make our New Year’s resolutions, may our utmost resolution be that we bless the Lord no matter our circumstances.

“I am sure that I may claim that the beginning of another year is a good time to begin blessing the Lord. For the mercies of another year, the forgiveness of another year, the provision, the instruction, the guidance, the supplies of another year, for the mercies of the year on which we enter with a good heart of hope, for all our fears which have been averted, for all our hopes which have been fulfilled, for all that we have learned, for all that we have experienced, let us carry out this happy resolution that, from this time forth, we will bless the Lord!” – Charles Spurgeon

Thank you so much for your faithful prayers for the ministry of FAME and our partners around the world. We find it a blessing to know that you are partnering with us each month and day in prayer. This month, please partner with us in praying for the following that are on each day of the January calendar:

• FAME Board members as they continue to lead the ministry
• FAME Sustainable Healthcare projects that were approved at the last FAME Board meeting and are underway or will be so soon. Please pray for the funding needed for each of these projects, that the construction process will go smoothly, and that through these projects, the love of Jesus will be shown through medical evangelism.
• Our mission partners in Myanmar, India, and Haiti that continue to be under extreme pressure due to government control or civil unrest
• Church visits that Executive Director, Bill Warren will be making
• Volunteer groups that will be serving in the FAME warehouse, including a student volunteer group from Western Illinois University.
• Mark Yeaton, who will be climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro during the middle of the month to help raise funds for a clinic in Kenya. Rich Nye of a local news station in Indianapolis, IN did a story about Mark and his climb that you can watch here. www.wthr.com/article/news/local/columbus-teacher-to-climb-kilimanjaro-to-raise-money-for-medical-clinic-in-kenya

Blessings in the coming year.
