“I just kept thinking there had to be more to life. I felt that God was drawing me to Him.” said a partner of FAME whose story is below.
FAME is blessed to partner with some of the most amazing people!
• With Global partners
• With partners who GO to support the global partners
• With partners like you, who partner financially
Each is an integral part of the impact of FAME! But this is a story of defining a new season of life.
In a large Midwestern city, there is a couple who both loved the Lord, their children and grandchildren, their church, and missions. As they approached retirement about 6 years ago, she said the above opening quote! So, they began to pray. As they prayed, they were drawn to 2 countries one in Central America, and one in Africa. And since 2017 they have led dozens of medical and water treatment trips to share the gospel in these 2 countries.
As they looked at the next season of life, they allowed God to direct their steps. One country they serve is Uganda. Uganda’s healthcare system has caring providers, using limited resources. One hospital they serve has such limited resources, that if you have a family member as a patient, you are responsible for their clean water to drink and meals!
But here is why FAME MUST send medical and dental supplies with this couple – Uganda has a population where 47% of the population is under the age of 15 years old! (USA is 17%). What an opportunity to impact the future of a nation! Half of the population are teens and children! These children are at risk for atrocities but also have just no direction.
Because of partners, “Global”, “Going”, and “Giving”, YOU are making an impact on future generations!
Paul saw partnership the same way when he was writing the Romans. “How can they hear without someone to tell them, how can someone go tell them without those who send?”
You are an important piece of the next season of FAME! Maybe you are entering a new season of life…some of you could be called to go. Some of you are being called to send!
Those who go, and those who send are equal partners in changing the world! If you’d like to consider greater ways you can partner in sending, in a new season of life using non-cash gifts, IRA or stock distributions, or other estate planning, message Jeff Coon and he will send you a Planning Guide for your consideration.
Thank you for your partnership.
