In a very isolated, but heavily populated region of Mexico, a FAME partner is sharing the gospel among a people of mighty heritage, but tragic health.
You may be aware that the Mexican government declared a health emergency a number of years ago and is labeling foods and drinks with WARNING LABELS that include a STOP SIGN SHAPE saying “exceso azucares” for high levels of sugar.
One region where a FAME partner is serving has seen an unusually high number of amputees from the casualties of diabetes! There are an estimated 1,568,000 Huasteca Aztec people, and they are the largest language group besides Spanish in the country of Mexico.
They have learned “that an effective way to prepare their hearts to receive the Gospel message is to come alongside them in a way that minimizes their physical suffering and shows compassion. That is why our Medical Outreach is seeing a spiritual harvest like no other time in our history. They are extremely hardworking people and the poorest of the poor are the most generous. They are becoming missionaries to their own indigenous people!”
So last week FAME sent hundreds of folding walkers, and specialized wheelchairs to this partner which is serving these people! Many of your FAME global partners are not able to use these supplies because of the lack of smooth surfaces, but this region is perfect for these supplies.
Join us in thanking God for his provision of this MOBILITY equipment through partners here in the USA! And for partners who show the compassion of Jesus to open the door for the gospel.
The need is great! They said, “if you have 500 walkers, we could distribute them all.” When you partner with FAME, you send help and hope from the Aztecs to Zambians and everyone in between!
Thank you for your partnership,
Bill Warren
Executive Director
