I received the report that follows from a FAME partner which is growing a substantial church in the Himalayan foothills using an Ambulance for Medical Evangelism! The report was included in a request for partnership with FAME to build a clinic for their village and valley.
The “Rough Sketch of Clinic” included might make most people concerned that the partners didn’t have a well-thought-out plan – but next week I will tell you a story that will show you why I love sketches like this from your FAME global partners!
“India, no doubt is a secular and democratic country. However, persecution of Christian workers is taking place every day. Additionally, the tribal communities of NE India are conservative and people belonging to other faiths are unwelcome to the evangelists and preachers from the Christian churches. But when we approach them and visit their villages as health providers they warmly welcome us and accept us to share whatever we have to say and teach them. In this way medical evangelism is one of the greatest tools to outreach those well-guarded communities and we have the opportunity to pray for them and show the Gospel of Christ as we provide medical treatment for them.
Miss. L. Y. aged 14, was bedridden for 2 years in a remote village in the valley with a rare kind of infection in her leg. By the time
we evacuated her she almost lost her leg. After we provided treatment for her in a city hospital, now she can walk and play with her friends and now she goes to school by herself. She, her parents, and siblings have become close to Christ now.”
This new facility will allow this ministry in N.E. India, in the Himalayan foothills, to be an even greater light in the darkness. The city hospital was hours of travel away! This new clinic will be in the heart of a valley that the church is reaching with the message of Jesus. A health center of hope and help that will continue FAME’s mission to empower your global partners with new tools that move access to healthcare and the gospel within reach of thousands of the world’s most vulnerable!
Thank you for your partnership!
