AFTER:
An Optical Tech at a FAME partner Eye Clinic in Honduras noticed a man on a sidewalk was rubbing his eyes repeatedly, so he approached him and invited him to the “His Eyes” Clinic. The man said he could not afford a doctor, but he was encouraged to come anyway. He did, and upon examination, it was found that he had a small metal fragment IN his eye! It was removed, and the man was immediately relieved and on the way to recovery. Oh yes, he heard the gospel and experienced the love of the staff of your FAME partner clinic in Honduras.
BEFORE:
Many years ago, an Ophthalmoscope, the handheld device used to examine the interior of the eye, was sent to this partner from the FAME warehouse. It wasn’t exciting and didn’t seem urgent to send the Ophthalmoscope BEFORE, but AFTER, it gave sight to a man in great need!
We don’t hear the stories of patients who need care BEFORE they need it, we hear of them AFTER care has been given and the gospel has been shared.
FAME is receiving a surge in medical equipment and supplies…which ALWAYS precedes a surge in needs/requests from around the world! There are Shipping crates and container loads being staged for the next couple of months, (Poland/Ukraine, Liberia, Djibouti, Sierra Leone, DR Congo, Ethiopia) and dozens upon dozens of smaller shipments are leaving every day! But to keep meeting these requests FAME needs to be able to quickly respond to these needs.
FAME has set a goal to raise $100,000 this Spring to meet a growing global need. Many of you have already responded!
If not, can you consider helping with 1% ($1000) of this goal? A gift of any amount will remove an obstacle for someone to be able to hear and respond to the gospel. I can’t tell you BEFORE what your gift will do. It may be an exam table, IV pole, therapy equipment, wound care supplies, surgical lights, surgical tools, birthing room supplies, or first-aid kits. But AFTER, rest assured that we will learn that one of the world’s most vulnerable was treated in the name of Jesus and heard the gospel, and you will hear about many of them here!
