This week, a FAME team is in the high-altitude mountains of Mexico, in the shadow of the12,188 ft. peak of San Rafael. These villages are many hours away from any source of healthcare.
A children’s pastor and pastor who have been going door to door in this village inviting people to church and preparing to start a Bible Study in their village joined our team. For many hours, your team treated patients, but also the gospel was shared. The first station upon arrival at a ‘medical camp’ is the “waiting area” and this is where the pastor or children’s pastor shares the gospel very clearly over and over all day long. There were government officials, some farmers, business leaders, and mothers who came for themselves and many well-child checks!
Some impressions from one of the team:
- Joy! The children’s pastor is always laughing, talking to parents and children about Jesus
- Joy! The children were singing in Spanish about Joy in the song that has the line…” happy all the time…”
- Joy! The team caregivers and the partner doctor from the church there served with such joy.
It made me think of the Scripture, “The joy of the Lord is our strength.” But then I realized it could be said another way, “One of the strengths of FAME teams, global partners, and partners like you is joy.” One Strength in the Lord is Joy!
Because of you – JOY is a strength, JOY is contagious, and JOY sends a message of help and hope!
Thank you for partnering with FAME to send JOY which results in help and hope to the world’s most vulnerable!
