You have FAME global partners who go where most won’t go! The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of those places. The State Department website has the following travel warnings.
Do Not Travel To:
- The Democratic Republic of the Congo – COVID-19
- North Kivu and Ituri provinces due to terrorism
- The eastern DRC region and the three Kasai provinces (Kasai, Kasai-Oriental, Kasai-Central) due to crime, civil unrest, armed conflict and kidnapping
- Équateur province due to Ebola.
But that hasn’t stopped one of your FAME partners from acquiring medical supplies and equipment to support 7 clinics in the DR of the Congo! In July we received word how some mobility supplies were distributed:
We praise God for what our team of 3 church leaders did last Friday by giving in the village of Ngunda Kinzamba a free gift of mobility (PET cart, personal energy transport) to a leg disabled man to show him the love of God. On Saturday they gave another PET cart to a leg disabled lady in Mukedi village.
Last week, the team picked up a truckload of additional mobility supplies to distribute. Also, of interest to you might be that Barry Reed, our Director of Mission Resources, prepared 6 surgical kits for the team. 6 of the 7 Clinics have qualified staff capable of small surgeries. I was most surprised to learn that the supplies received included hospital-grade mattresses. Currently, those who have these small surgeries in a few of those clinics are on the ground. These mattresses will be such an upgrade for these patients! Their recovery time is when many respond to the gospel!
Each and every day- YOUR partnership improves the doors that open for the gospel!
Thank you for your generosity, prayers, and compassion- you are impacting the world’s most sick who would never have the chance to hear the gospel without you!
