(**to be filled by Fair Haven Christian Church )

Estimated Cost – $2,400

Host Mission:  His Eyes, Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Missionaries:  Felipe and Valerie Colby

We are building a team to serve with the ministry of “His Eyes” directed by Felipe and Valerie Colby located in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.   Along with providing healthcare for patients in need, we are also making ourselves available to the Honduran medical staff in the area of teaching/training.  Preventative healthcare topics will also be taught to Honduran families with the purpose of promoting better healthcare in their homes.

Fungal skin infections, GI issues, respiratory illnesses, and encounters with pain are among the leading illnesses experienced by the Honduran people.  Our focus will be on those people living in rural locations of the country where healthcare is not readily accessible.

Mobile medical clinics help to open doors for national Evangelists who are called to reach people for Christ in a specific community. Illnesses are treated by the medications that are dispensed by our team, but the long-lasting treatment for all of life’s challenges lies in knowing Jesus. Mobile medical camps enhance the ministry of local Evangelists and help draw attention to the Great Physician and His healing.

For this team, we are seeking both medical and non-medical participants. Our ultimate goal is to bring glory to God in all that we do while serving in Honduras. 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.

(*To be filled by Milligan’s P.A. Program only)

Estimated Trip Cost – TBD
Host Mission: Emerge Global
Missionaries: Ryan and Melissa Humphrey

Come join us as we take a FAME team to El Salvador! We are very excited to be partnering with Emerge Global to serve alongside them in their community.

We are excited to offer this experience to Milligan’s PA program and their students. We will be treating patients through a series of medical outreaches into the neighboring communities and in the local clinic.

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 Emerge Global 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 El Salvador! 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!

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.

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!

Host Mission:  Central Brazil Mission (CBM)

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!
