Experiencing the Unthinkable…Finding Freedom

Posted by fame on with 0 Comment

This 12 yr. old orphan boy in Asia is like many children who find themselves in unthinkable situations.  Hundreds of thousands of refugees are facing unmentionable obstacles and horrors, but then add to their situations serious health issues, and they are seemingly without hope.

This young boy has a disease that went unidentified and untreated for many years.  But when he met YOUR FAME partner in S.E. Asia they had the compassion of Jesus and found healthcare and solutions for this precious young man!

Hope and Freedom, are not common among these refugees and the governments which mistreat them!

But not for long!  Your FAME partner ACS (Asia Christian Services) is working among the refugees and building a Clinic that will be one of the most significant structures and a place of HOPE.

When complete, this will provide hope, stability, answers to the unknown, and something VERY unknown in countries like these which have governments that are not “of the people or for the people.”  That will be FREEDOM!  The freedom provided by these clinics will be greater than healthcare.  But that healthcare will introduce them to Jesus!  That Freedom supersedes all other freedoms we are promised!

This Fourth of July weekend, can you give a special gift thanking God for YOUR Freedom you have found in Jesus by helping those who do not even know such freedom exists until they meet FAME partners in medical facilities or camps?  If you can give a FREEDOM gift today just click the link below, and you will directly help young children like this orphan boy to find 1) Healthcare and 2) Freedom in Jesus Christ!

Places of Hope

Posted by admin on with 0 Comment

On my last trip just before the Pandemic closed world travel in March of 2020, I visited multiple places of hope. What are they? FAME Sustainable Projects that will serve the least served of the world bringing a Gospel Message + Medical Care to the world’s most vulnerable!

This is what one of those locations looked like when I visited! Just a foundation ready to go! 

In 2021, after feeding starving people, caring for the sick, and baptizing hundreds of converts in the many churches connected to this project – construction restarted.

Look at it now! This Primary Care Clinic was Inaugurated (Dedicated) on the last day of February 2022, and it is a top-quality facility! People are already being treated in the name of Jesus, and the gospel is already being shared to those in this Place of Hope that YOU helped to provide!

Places of Hope are all over the world because of you. As a matter of fact, this is FAME Sustainable Project 209. That is 209 places of hope that you and faithful partners like you have made possible.

Thank you for your partnership that makes PLACES of HOPE possible around the globe!

There is Hope in Kenya

Posted by fame on with 0 Comment

FAME exists to bring help and hope in the name of Christ to the world through medical evangelism.  A part of FAME’s ministry, that helps provide that help and hope is shipping much needed medical supplies and equipment to many of our missionary partners.

This month, Andy Schamerloh, FAME Director of Mission Resources, shares two recent stories from our partners to whom FAME recently shipped medical supplies.

“Ovi & Violet International recently opened a clinic in Kenya to care for orphans.  In the area surrounding the clinic, there are 48 orphanages!  FAME sent exam tables, an x-ray unit, casting materials and additional medical supplies to provide healthcare to these orphans.  We recently visited the facility in September and what sticks out to me is the way they live out James 1:27 (“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress…”).  Ovi & Violet connected with local widows to provide comfort and care for the orphans.  The widows receive a small stipend each month to rock babies, change diapers and care for the orphans staying in the clinic.  Two needs are met at the same time.

The second story involves FAME’s partners in Guinea, Africa.  Jim and Dawn Anderson received a delivery bed from FAME.  Before the arrival of the bed, mothers laid on the concrete floor with a shower curtain underneath.  You can imagine the discomfort for the mother, doctor, and nurses.  After receiving the delivery bed, we received this email from the Andersons.

‘We wanted to send a note to say THANK YOU to all who prayed and gave! Yesterday, I delivered my first baby on our new delivery bed!  After delivering several hundred on a shower curtain on the floor, it was wonderful!  Everyone should be this fortunate!  Mom and the little guy are doing great!  We are so grateful (my back in particular!)’

I counted 6 exclamation points in their email!  That is the level of joy you bring with your gifts to FAME.”

Thank you for making things like this possible through your support of FAME.
