The time has come again for the beginning of a new year. One of hope and promise. I recently ran across a quote from Charles Spurgeon that I felt was an appropriate goal for this coming year. As we make our New Year’s resolutions, may our utmost resolution be that we bless the Lord no matter our circumstances.
“I am sure that I may claim that the beginning of another year is a good time to begin blessing the Lord. For the mercies of another year, the forgiveness of another year, the provision, the instruction, the guidance, the supplies of another year, for the mercies of the year on which we enter with a good heart of hope, for all our fears which have been averted, for all our hopes which have been fulfilled, for all that we have learned, for all that we have experienced, let us carry out this happy resolution that, from this time forth, we will bless the Lord!” – Charles Spurgeon
Thank you so much for your faithful prayers for the ministry of FAME and our partners around the world. We find it a blessing to know that you are partnering with us each month and day in prayer. This month, please partner with us in praying for the following that are on each day of the January calendar:
- FAME Board members as they continue to lead the ministry
- FAME Sustainable Healthcare projects that were approved at the last FAME Board meeting and are underway or will be so soon. Please pray for the funding needed for each of these projects, that the construction process will go smoothly, and that through these projects, the love of Jesus will be shown through medical evangelism.
- Our mission partners in Myanmar, India, and Haiti that continue to be under extreme pressure due to government control or civil unrest
- Church visits that Executive Director, Bill Warren will be making
- Volunteer groups that will be serving in the FAME warehouse, including a student volunteer group from Western Illinois University.
- Mark Yeaton, who will be climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro during the middle of the month to help raise funds for a clinic in Kenya. Rich Nye of a local news station in Indianapolis, IN did a story about Mark and his climb that you can watch here. www.wthr.com/article/news/local/columbus-teacher-to-climb-kilimanjaro-to-raise-money-for-medical-clinic-in-kenya
