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!
