Every doctor appointment around the globe begins with a measurement. Height and Weight, blood pressure, oxygen level, heart rate, blood work etc.
But how do you measure impact?
Abieto was losing weight and unable to eat without getting sick. His parents tried homemade remedies for an upset stomach but nothing helped. After finding transportation from a distant relative, Abieto and his parents traveled nearly two hours to a FAME partner clinic where an ultrasound (which YOU helped to provide) discovered the problem and surgery was required. His parents were scared of the surgery because they were fearful of losing their son, as all of us would be – but here is the difference – this FAME partner doctor was able to tell them of the hope in Jesus Christ. The whole family believed, and were baptized! Abieto had the surgery, and is back in his village, in school, and playing with his friends!
That’s our measurement of impact.
IMPACT = treated in the name of Jesus + hear the gospel
This next year FAME’s IMPACT goal is that for every dollar given to FAME – that 2 people will be treated in the name of Jesus + hear the gospel. I wish all my financial decisions had such an impact! For 50 years lives have been being changed by medical evangelism with FAME, and to think that 2 people will experience the hope and help of Jesus for every dollar I give to FAME! WOW!

Global Health situations are not predictable- but our Monthly Partners are- and that has allowed FAME to be your partner in medical evangelism for boys like Abieto.
