Thank you for your friendship to the ministry of FAME. Through your generosity and partnership with us in medical evangelism, people’s lives are being changed for eternity.

One part of our ministry, in addition to partnering with international missions to share the good news, is offering scholarships for students who are pursuing a medical education and who desire to serve in a mission hospital or clinic after graduation. These students must be from a developing nation and be recommended by a FAME mission partner.

At the end of each year, the sponsoring mission partners submit reports on the student’s progress. The students also often include a note about what a FAME scholarship means to them. Here is one such note from one of our FAME scholarship recipients.

I am now in 4th year and having done half of my med school years is just a miracle! I sit in class and when thoughts of how favored I am to be a beneficiary of the FAME scholarship I shed a tear. Because of it, I am now actualizing the dream of being a doctor. It feels like God’s purpose in my life is to serve Him as a doctor and for this I endeavor to use all I am, and all I will be for His glory.

God bless FAME and may your cups never run dry. I promise to continue doing my best in school, and may I reflect God’s goodness in all areas I am in. – Caroline (Kenya)

Thank you again for your generosity to FAME. Donations to FAME make it possible for students like Caroline to serve the Lord through medical evangelism!

I like being under a tree in the shade, but that isn’t my greatest idea of where to go to find medical care. Unfortunately, for parents in Malawi, that USED to be the only option, and that was only once a month!

Over 47% of Malawian children are stunted from severe malnutrition, and 25% of them die before age 5! That will change soon. Right now, the partner there is building a staff housing unit to coincide with the hospital that is opening soon.

Their next project will be pediatric care. In this geographical area, parents are only able to bring their children to meet doctors once a month, under a tree, in hopes of getting the proper medical care and medications needed. Often, their resources are so limited that the children are left untreated. This ministry is changing that situation, first with the hospital and, in the future a pediatric care clinic!

When you say “Yes!” to FAME, FAME can say “Yes!” to partners like those in Malawi, Myanmar, and Mozambique! Thousands will have the opportunity to say “Yes!” to Jesus because of you!

When you partner with FAME, FAME partners with churches in over 60 countries and your impact is deep and wide!

Here are some excerpts from a letter translated from Rogelio Torres Florian the Pastor of Casa Firme Christian Church in Colombia.

•  The manner that the FAME team arrived is a different manner to which these communities were accustomed. That is to say that normally the local congregations limit their testimony of the Lord to the pulpits and rarely do activities of the nature of this trip and with the alliances that were seen.
• This mission brought from God not only medical treatment and support, but also health in the spirit of healing and service for the members of the congregation Casa Firme who were committed and available in every moment they were required.
• The youth of the congregation were inspired and motivated by every member of the mission team; their testimony of the love of God and love for His work. During the visit 7 people made the decision to be baptized and 6 of those were youth.
• In terms of our ministry, we were able to

  

   establish very important contacts with organizations such as foundations, universities, military and private medical professionals. This has strengthened our work locally and these same contacts will be very important in future missions with the leading of the Lord.

When you say Yes! to FAME, FAME says Yes! to partner churches. Many times these partner churches have felt discouraged and unable to take any steps to reach into their community. These evangelistic medical camps he mentions gave them credibility in their community and opened doors WHEN HEARTS ARE MOST OPEN which is during a need or crisis.

In the same way people said “Yes!” to Jesus when he walked the earth and healed the hurting – YOU make it possible for others to be touched by the love of Jesus WHEN THEIR HEARTS ARE MOST OPEN because of illness in their families!

Thank you for your partnership!

Thank you for your prayers!

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.

Below are some thoughts I’d like to share from pastor Charles Swindoll as we start this new year.

How quickly does a year breeze past! Each January, some look back at the past year with heads held high as they check off all their accomplished goals. Others, however, might throw away that old calendar, feeling a sense of disappointment or even regret. The year came and went, and all the checkboxes alongside those plans and ambitions remain empty. Many know well the feelings of irritation, frustration, worry, and discouragement as they stand on the edge of a new year. The dissatisfaction seems unavoidable. In fact, even achieved resolutions often fail to eradicate these feelings. Something greater is required, something divine. We can only cast out the darkness of our difficulties, failures, and worries by truly acknowledging and embracing the goodness of God’s guiding hand in our lives.

As you prepare to enter this new year, do not miss the shining treasure that has the power to brighten even the darkest nights . . . the providence of God. – Pastor Charles R. Swindoll

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.
• FAME monthly Volunteers that will be serving in the FAME warehouse.

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