After fleeing brutality and persecution in North Africa, refugees arriving in Spain are hopeful for a new life!
Risking their lives to cross the Mediterranean Sea on homemade rafts, highly-priced boat rides, and even facing modern-day pirates these refugees are full of hope upon arrival in Europe. Many of them can move into work and opportunities. Still, if they have a medical crisis or even a medical need, there is a 2 YEAR WAIT before they can even walk into an Emergency Room, let alone a Primary Care physician.
If you’ve been a friend of FAME for a while, you may remember FAME appealing to you to help provide a clinic to meet this need of refugees.
Last month, I attended the Ribbon Cutting/Grand Opening of that Clinic! It is in the same urban facility as a church and mission outreach serving nationals and refugees. The clinic will fill this gap in healthcare for many refugees and that has opened the door for the gospel already! One event I attended was a men’s breakfast. I was pleased to see that over half of the crowd were not Spaniards, but refugees who have been impacted by YOU and your partnership with FAME!
Thank you for your partnership!
