Brazil

August 8-18, 2028

Estimated Trip Cost: TBD
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!

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.
