Medical Trip – Medical teams help provide physical and spiritual care to some of the most underserved communities in the Dominican Republic. Medical teams spend three days helping lead mobile medical clinics alongside “GO’s” local medical staff. This team will intentionally serve in GO Church Planting communities so that it can be an effective outreach tool for local pastors. Mobile clinics consist of four stations: Triage, provider assessment, pharmacy, and prayer. Team members work in all four areas.
Other days are spent exploring other Focused Areas of Ministry, doing service projects and children’s ministry, and serving alongside “GO’s” Dominican and Haitian local leaders. We are seeking Physicians, NPs, PAs, Nurses, PTs, and other medical professionals who are interested in joining us. Non-medical trip participants are also welcomed and needed.

September 6-16, 2025

Estimated Cost: TBD
Host Mission: Community Health Partners (CHP)
Location: Narok, Kenya
Missionaries: John and Grace Sankok

Treating the basic health needs of people who will come seeking treatment is one of the ways our team can be used in ministry. Medical outreaches open doors for our CHP hosts to engage in personal relationships with those who come to receive treatment from our team. Through those relationships, the good news of Jesus can be shared, and ultimately lives will be transformed. Our ultimate goal is to bring glory to God in all that we do while serving in Kenya! Our hosts need encouragement as they serve the Lord each and every day in some pretty challenging conditions. We want to join them as co-workers in the ministry they have been called to do. This experience is exciting, challenging, fulfilling, emotional, and most importantly, humbling.

There are needs to be met and God’s love to be shared. Won’t you join us?

Questions?  I would love to tell you more!

Postponed until Fall 2025

Estimated Trip Cost: $2710
Host Mission: Psalm 82:3 Mission
Where: Liberia, Grand Bassa County
Participants: 10-13

Come join us as we take a FAME team to Grand Bassa, Liberia! We are excited to partner with Psalm 82:3 Mission, which focuses on defending the weak and fatherless by empowering communities through foster care and sustainable community resources.  

For this team, we are seeking both medical and non-medical participants, especially those who focus on pediatric care.  The trip will consist of onsite care in the new clinic that is set to open September of 2024, as well as mobile clinics in the community. Health education will also be utilized on this trip. 

Treating the basic health needs of those seeking treatment is one of the ways our team can be used in ministry. In addition, we hope to provide preventative health education that speaks to the specific health needs of the patients.

Medical outreach opens the door for Psalm 82:3 to engage in personal relationships with those who come to receive treatment from our team. Through those relationships, the Good News of Jesus can be shared, and ultimately lives will be transformed.

Our ultimate goal is to bring glory to God in all that we do while serving in Liberia! Our hosts need encouragement as they serve the Lord each day. We want to join them as co-workers in the ministry they have been called to do.

There are needs to be met and God’s love to be shared. Won’t you join us?

Thinking About the Box…..

Posted by fame on with 0 Comment

You’ve heard the phrase, “Thinking outside the box.” FAME and FAME partners do that a lot to be able to strategically use medical evangelism.  (Don’t miss reading the Airplane Emergency Ultrasound story below)
 
But I’d like to thank so many of you for making it possible that we can think about the box.

Indy Genesis Cross Country Team collects medical supplies

Our Warehouse is full of boxes.  Empty boxes, small boxes, large boxes, and full boxes.  Each and every box is labeled, organized, categorized, and inventoried.  Our team of staff and volunteers are organized and efficient!  Then these boxes travel the world to or with our partners, the medical evangelists!

But where does WHAT’S INSIDE THE BOX come from?  From donors and partners like you! Whether it is a Hospital or Medical provider who updates and donates prior equipment from their facility to groups of students or church members who collect over-the-counter supplies – they all are “boxed” and shipped to impact lives.

But not only do our partners use what is IN THE BOX, they also do evangelism

OUTSIDE THE BOX!  We recently just heard this story from a team who took a large donation of medicines with them on a Mission trip to Guatemala.

We sent a large donation of lidocaine along with other medicines to him and his team who were traveling.

On day 5 of this 8-day trip, the doctor dropped our Mission Resource Director a short email to thank him for the donated medicines and to report that they had already performed over 200 surgeries and they still had three+ days to go.  Hundreds of people had also heard the good news of Jesus!

Then on his way home, he reported that this happened:

Well…I guess the medical portion of my trip is not over yet! Just as I sat back in my seat,
drinking a coffee and watching a movie…, I heard the overhead speaker say if there is a doctor on board come to row 15!  I went there to see 79-year-old Maria (a Guatemalan) with sudden onset of severe left leg pain. She told me she has vascular problems. I could not feel a pulse behind her left knee nor any pulses on her left foot; her wrist pulses were very strong. I travel with my pocket ultrasound and sent the stewardess to get my bag. I placed the linear high-frequency probe behind her left knee and turned on the color flow doppler, lighting up the blood flow a little behind the knee but not in the foot. I diagnosed her with an ischemic left leg (blocked arterial blood flow) and told the stewardess the arrange an ambulance to meet us at the gate and take her immediately to the hospital in Atlanta (now only 45 minutes away) for definitive care and possible surgery. Maria will get to keep her leg! I love my little pocket ultrasound!

Ellettsville Christian Church assembles first-aid kits

What’s in a box at or from FAME?  Evangelistic tools like medicines, equipment, supplies, and diagnostic tools!

Check out our website here to see ways you too can donate, or collect and donate “evangelistic tools” that will save lives; both physically and then spiritually!

Additionally, when you give to FAME, you position us to acquire, house, and ship all these items to medical evangelism partners around the world.

Thank you for making this possible because of your partnership!

Come join the medical mission of FAME on a trip to the Amazon!  We will be serving with Central Brazil Mission (CBM) on a 1-week boat trip along the breathtaking Amazon River.

Come aboard the “Frances Ann” and enjoy the beauty along the way as we dock at multiple remote villages along the river and treat patients experiencing both physical and spiritual needs.

Patients will make their way on board the boat to be seen by medical professionals on the team.  Medical professionals will diagnose and treat the patient’s illness while non-medical participants will take blood pressures, temperatures, height and weight of all patients, and teach a health education lesson to all patients waiting to be seen by the physician.  Non-medical participants will also engage in activities and games with children from the village.  Haircuts and manicures are also a way to build a friendship with someone of any age.  Everyone will experience the love of Christ through you!

Accommodations on the boat include air-conditioned sleeping rooms or you may want to experience sleeping in a Brazilian hammock on the upper deck!  A refreshing shower, clothes washer, and meals are all provided on the boat.

This is an amazing experience you won’t want to miss!

January Prayer Calendar

Posted by fame on with 0 Comment

Dear Prayer Partner,

It is hard to believe that another year has come and gone. What a blessing it has been having you partner with us this past year, praying for the ministry of FAME and our partners around the world.

I recently read a quote by Frances Chan that reflects his thoughts on the New Year. I love his take on the “fresh start” we have the opportunity to partake in each year.

New Year’s Day is my favorite holiday. I love fresh starts. I think we all do. We look back at mistakes and wish we could have a do-over. Not that I make all these resolutions, but there is always something exciting to think about. Just turning over to a new year and saying, “Lord, may this year be different. May this be the year when I draw so close to you. May this be the year I finish all these things that I’ve put off. And all the changes I know need to take place in my life? May this be the year that they happen. May this be the year that I change my rhythm of life and prioritize the right things. May it be the year that I spend more time talking about how wonderful our God is rather than all of these other issues.” That’s what I love about New Year’s Day.-Frances Chan

This month, as we start a new month and a new year, won’t you 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 Scholarship Recipients that are studying to become medical professionals in their home countries.
  • Church visits and a conference Executive Director, Bill Warren will be attending
  • Volunteer groups that will be serving in the FAME warehouse.

Thank you again for your partnership in prayer and blessings in the coming year.
