Thank you for your partnership with FAME through prayer. We are blessed in knowing that you faithfully come alongside us, as we pray for FAME partners, volunteers, board members, staff, scholarship recipients, and other happenings in ministry.

This month, we have included on the monthly calendar our upcoming short-term mission trips.  Medical mission teams are made up of both medical professionals and non-medical team members. Both are critical to the overall team.

Please pray for the team members that have committed to participating on these trips, for others to be moved to want to serve on these trips, for our host mission partners, and for the people that will be treated. Pray that they may be open to the gospel as they are treated in the name of Jesus. If you would like more information about short-term trips, visit our website at www.fameworld.org/mission-trips.

We also ask for prayer for our regular FAME volunteers that serve weekly in the ministry. FAME could not do all it does without the help of so many faithful volunteers. For them, we are so thankful.

In this month of February and a “month of love”, I am encouraged by the many volunteers and trip participants who because of their love for God, have decided to serve Him through the ministry of FAME. People all around the world are being treated in the name of Christ and hearing the gospel because of their service and love for others.

Over the last few weeks, the pastor of my church has taught a sermon series on the book of 1 John.  And what a chapter on love that is! The words love, loved, loves, and loving is used a total of 46 times throughout all of 1 John. Below are a few of the scriptures that speak of God’s love and the love we are to have for others.

•  “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.” – 1 John 3:1
• “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. – 1 John 3:16
• “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” – 1 John 3:18
• “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God”. – 1 John 4:7
• “This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:9-10
• “Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is made complete in us.” – 1 John 4:11-12
• “We love because he first loved us.” – 1 John 4:19

Thank you again for showing LOVE to the ministry of FAME and others around the world through your devotion to prayer. We truly love others when we pray for them because through our prayers we welcome God’s loving presence to move in their lives.

Blessings in the coming month!

When terrible health news comes, a family needs hope.  In one country, a FAME partner is establishing a Cancer Treatment Center in one of their facilities.  And YOU can help.  There are no Cancer Treatment options for tens of thousands of people in their region.  Because of the cost and distance of travel, treatment just doesn’t happen for many of these people, and the only hope they have is the eternal hope in Jesus IF THEY have heard the good news!

The region in which this partner serves is aggressively persecuting and prosecuting people for Evangelism!  One of the ONLY HOPES for people to HEAR the gospel is through a direct quiet message from medical evangelists!  This Cancer Treatment facility will become a beacon of light and hope cutting through the darkness of false religion.

One thing we’ve learned from Jesus and in over 50 years of medical evangelism, is that hearts are open to the gospel in times of terrible health news!  If you’d like to help provide toward purchasing this $35,000 Cancer Facility Equipment click the Donate Button below, and Note “Cancer Equipment.”

Timon had been sick for many years.  He is part of what many call an “unreached people  group”. A few people in his tribal villages had heard of Jesus from traveling outside of their region but no church had been established.  A FAME partner mission had been trying to visit and make contact with them but had not found a way to connect and have folks hear the gospel.  THEN they planned a medical camp in one of Timon’s villages.  He heard they were coming but doubted that they could help him.  The morning of the medical camp he stayed home.  In the early afternoon though, Timon heard a lot of excitement in his village – a Buddhist monk was telling how he had gone to the medical camp and received care including medicine.  Timon hurried with his family to also go see what was possible for him.  He was seen by a Nurse, diagnosed, and was easily treated with 30 days of medicine for his condition.  But most important of all?  We know this story because he explains that “one of the people there told me about how Jesus may or may not be able to take away my sickness.  But that Jesus CAN take away my guilt and shame!”  Timon believed in Jesus and after his baptism, and a few others, a church was started in their people group!  They are NO LONGER ON THE UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUP LIST!

Stories like Timon’s repeat in country after country because of your generosity.  One exciting thing about this story is that funds from 2022 were not used.  The ministry there is a self-sustaining FAME mission partner because funds many years ago prepared and trained the people there!  FAME still partners with them with funding on occasion like 2 current clinics for which we are raising funds, but they are self-sustaining!

If you give financially to FAME in 2023 your gifts will be used for amazing partnerships – but there will also be a story in 2 years, 5 years, or in 10 years just like Timon’s!  Your generosity in 2023 will bear fruit until Jesus returns!
