In 2022 your impact was deep and wide!
–       Short- Term Trips are back and increasing
–       Shipping Medical Equipment and Supplies has never let up
–       Scholarship Students are preparing and graduating to make an impact
–       Sustainable Projects are needed and being funded
There are hundreds of stories of YOUR impact but we can’t tell you all of them in one email!

So here are two stories of Unlikely Evangelism – the best way to tell them is by Video, watch one, then come back to watch the other!

First, here is a story I’d like to tell you about Pakistan! (click the pic below for the video)

Now, let Jeff tell you about a refugee camp clinic on the Myanmar/Thailand border!

Both of these stories are YOUR STORIES, they can only happen because of YOU, and people like you who are so generous to FAME!  If you can give a year-end gift to FAME to use as needed at www.fameworld.org/donate

I promise that thousands will hear the gospel and be treated in the name of Jesus, because our partners do that every day!  Over 5000 people each day are impacted by YOU!

Blessings to you and your family as we end 2022 and see God’s promises as we enter 2023!

Thank you for your partnership!

Five Hundred residents or less, maybe up to 1,000 lived there; but it was a “little” town.  Not little in importance really, just little.  King David had come from there.  Shepherds who cared for the sacrificial sheep of Bethlehem functioned in the hills around there.  Prophets spoke of this little town.

But Bethlehem has similarities to small towns that are served by your FAME partners every day around the world.

• Small
• Limited services (only one Inn in Bethlehem)

But because of you, JESUS arrives in these little towns quietly and humbly.

He came to Bethlehem with a young couple needing a place to give birth.

He comes to thousands of small towns around the world with global partners who use Health Care, quietly and humbly, to share the gospel to young couples who need a place to give birth, parents who have a sick child, injured people who need to be treated, and 2 Million others THIS YEAR!

Your partnership BRINGS JESUS TO LITTLE TOWNS!  Thank you for your generosity!  No small town is unimportant, and you bring help and hope every time you give to FAME!

Merry Christmas!

Guravamma was a sweet, but illiterate woman who brought a number of family members to a FAME partner clinic over a period of many years.  She admired how the co-founder of the clinic, Lois Rees, cared for her family.  From cleaning wounds and whatever was needed Lois’ servant’s heart and clear communication of the message of Jesus caused Guravamma to become a Christian.

Guravamma never did learn how to read, but she memorized the stories and Scripture she learned.  Your FAME partner learned that groups of people visited her in the evening for prayer for their diseases & problems.  She listened and told whatever she knew about Jesus.  This opened up evangelism in a new unreached people group in their area, the Irukula/Yerukula people!

This reminds me of the Shepherds who heard the Great News that will cause Great Joy from the angels and had seen Jesus. Luke records “…they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child.”

They didn’t have evangelism training to be able to spread the word.

Neither do many of the patients like Guravamma who are treated and hear the gospel at your FAME partner clinics and hospitals – but many of them spread the word about Jesus!

The door was opened to evangelize an unreached people group because of one woman who couldn’t read!

The “E” in FAME stands for Evangelism – the Good News that will cause Great Joy!!

Thank you for making this possible because of your partnership!

Expecting their first child, this mother and father traveled over 30 miles on foot to reach the place they expected to have their baby.  But there was no room for them in the clinic

Because of your generosity, there are many Maternity Centers, Mother and Child Centers, and Midwifery centers, around the world. But because of QUALITY CARE, these evangelism and healthcare facilities have become in high demand and very popular in their communities!  Many of them were constructed years ago and were able to handle one, two, or three patients at a time. Now many of them need three times that many beds!

This is Dr. John Diing in South Sudan in the old outdated Delivery room – Because of you FAME has funded a new 9- bed facility that will begin construction ASAP!

NOW your help is needed in Ghana! Pictured below is when I met with leaders at the Makango Clinic in Ghana in September.  This clinic was started a number of years ago and has been on hold because of a lack of funding.  They are extremely limited on the number of deliveries they can handle each week.

This new Mother & Child Center will triple their capacity and make it possible to care for the over 1000 expected deliveries every year!

The situation of No Room in the Inn led to the birth of Jesus in an obscure location in Bethlehem.  No room for deliveries puts mothers and children at risk nearly every day around the world – but in the last 2 years YOU have helped us make upgrades and provide ambulances for the safe delivery of babies.  This opportunity in Ghana is a great chance to make a difference in a region with few other options.  One church has committed significantly to help with this project, but much more is needed.  

If you would like to help FAME fund this Makango Clinic expansion, you can do so by choosing Project Fund when making your donation. Note: Ghana.   Donate Now.

As 2022 comes to a close, we reflect upon the lives that have been changed around the world through medical evangelism this year, especially those that have had no access to healthcare. We also reflect on our many blessings, you being one of our greatest blessings, as you faithfully support the ministry of FAME through your prayers for the staff, the FAME Board of Directors, scholarship students, volunteers, missionary partners, and other partners in ministry.     

During the month of December, we ask that you join us in prayer for many of our Mission Partners who humbly give of themselves, as they minister to people in their communities around the world. These partners are either hosts to our mission teams, missions where we have provided a grant for a sustainable healthcare project, or are a partner mission to whom we have sent much-needed medical supplies. We also would like you to join us in prayer for some local mission organizations here in the US with whom we partner. It is such a blessing to have so many with who we can partner to share the love of Christ through medical evangelism.

Merry Christmas and Blessings to you and yours,

The FAME Staff
