You Are a Part of the Story

But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn,
and took care of him
. Luke 10:33-34

This parable, which was told by Jesus, is a real event every day with YOUR FAME partners around the globe.  You are a part of the story, because the bandages, the medicines, the transportation, and the place of care are all partnership provided by YOU time and time again!

We thank God for your partnership, which allows our global partner clinics in deprived and hard-to-reach communities, provide exceptional care in the name of Jesus.

Recently, we heard from FAME Partner, Ghana Christian Mission, and how they are making an impact in the name of Jesus.

In Ghana, a lovely young woman was rushed into the Kumdi Clinic, one of the 7 health facilities started by Ghana Christian Mission with FAME in 1996.  She was found unconscious by a ‘good samaritan’, literally on the side of the road with her one-year-old child sitting by her side.  Her vital signs and pulse were dangerously low and weak.  She was attended to and treated for free until she was again stable and able to return to her home.  Her child was well fed and cared for also.  She left with the message of Jesus in her grasp.

At the Kumdi Clinic, hardworking nurses and other staff treat over 2500 patients per month.  In June, this mission partner’s church planters baptized over 60 people, as they are winning souls for the Lord.

We thank God for your partnership, which allows our global partner clinics in the deprived and hard-to-reach communities, to provide exceptional care in the name of Jesus.

From the Chairman’s Desk

As I look back over our fiscal year of 2020-2021, I am amazed at how God showed up and you showed up in so many ways. At the height of the pandemic here in the U.S., we had to navigate many obstacles with businesses shutting down, restrictions in workplace environments, and a worldwide economy that had many new challenges to navigate.

Even in all this change and sometimes turmoil, you, and others like you, gave abundantly so we could support medical needs all over the world.  Because of your generosity, we were able to supply many partners in developing countries with masks, gowns, and medical supplies and equipment to provide hope for the sick and the lost.  God did not forget about us but showed up in remarkable ways to help those in need around the world.

However, the rest of the world is still struggling to keep up with the COV-19 pandemic.  The need is great and we really appreciate your continued support so we can continue to send aid where it is needed most.

Our mission is to be a Global Leader in evangelism through healthcare.  God has given us many opportunities to have that vision realized in the last fiscal year.  Our partners estimated that well over 1,000,000 people had the gospel shared with them last year and well over 1,000,000 people received care or were treated.  Thank you for making this possible.  Also, I thank God for blessing us with the resources to help so many.

God Bless,

Kevin Hart
Board Chairman

July Prayer Calendar

With 2021 now halfway over, we reflect on God’s blessings of what he has provided so far this year. We are so grateful for our many faithful partners in ministry. Whether a donor, a missionary partner, a volunteer, or a prayer partner, you are a blessing to the ministry of FAME.

At the beginning of July, we would like to ask you to continue praying for our mission partners in Myanmar and Haiti. Both countries are experiencing extreme unrest. One mission partner in Haiti says it is the worst he has experienced. He recently wrote, “In reality, nobody is safe around Port Au Prince. It doesn’t matter if you are Haitian, American, French, or any other nationality. The gangs do not really care. The insecurity is scary, the nonstop violence is problematic for the poor people. Haiti has taken a major step backward since the earthquake. We need to train up the next leader of Haiti and a person truly devoted to God who can help change the country. Only God can save Haiti.”

In Myanmar, one partner stated that they have fled to Thailand for safety. He recently wrote, “Our team had been doing medical outreaches and helping refugees who were IPD (internally displaced people). It became a life danger after military coup in February. I was quite worried in May. My family decided to escape to Thailand safe zone.” Haiti and Myanmar both are in great need of prayer right now. Please pray for strength and the safety of our mission partners as they go through this trying time. Pray also that God may intervene to bring peace to these areas.

We would also like to ask for prayers for our FAME staff, as well as some of our wonderful volunteers and volunteer groups who give of their time and talents each month. We are so thankful for your prayers as we serve the ministry of FAME.  If you would like more information about volunteering at FAME, you can contact Barry Reed, FAME Director of Mission Resources, at barryr@fameworld.org.

Also, please pray for some conferences and other visits that Executive Director, Bill Warren and Director of Development, Jeff Coon will be attending. Please pray for their safety while traveling and that their visits will make an impact for the Kingdom.

Lastly, during the last week of July, continue to pray for some additional countries where we are not currently working, but where we pray opportunities may open for us to share the love of Jesus through medical evangelism. You can use the book or website, Operation World (www.operationworld.org) as a resource.

Thank you again for your continued partnership with FAME through prayer!

Blessings in the coming month.
