Estimated cost: $1,500

Host: World Wide Hispanic Outreach – Drs. Esly and Sandy Fuentes

FAME is blessed to be partnering with Dr. Esly and Dr. Sandy Fuentes, of World Wide Hispanic Outreach, on an upcoming mission trip to La Biznaga, Mexico. The name of the ministry, World Wide Hispanic Outreach, explains their focus exactly; to reach out to their brothers and sisters for Christ. The WWHO ministry began in the inner city of Saltillo and has grown to serve Mexico, the Caribbean, and the United States. In 2008, FAME sent equipment and supplies for the first clinic that opened in February 2009. This clinic serves the medical and dental needs of the rural farming village of, la Biznaga, and other surrounding villages, located southeast of Saltillo in the Sierra Madre Mountains. The government provided a pharmacy in the clinic in July, 2009. Dr. Esly and Dr. Sandy take care of many in several communities while sharing the great news of Jesus.

“I believe each patient that walks through our door is searching for physical healing. As we gain their trust, we share the real meaning of being healthy which is having abundant life in our Lord Jesus. Our life on this earth is so short compared to our eternity and once each of our patients understands this, they can make better choices in life and impact their own life and the lives of their friends and family.” – Dr. Esly Fuentes

Host:  Charles Selby Memorial Hospital staff

Total Trip Cost: $2745

Come join us as we take a FAME team to the Philippines!  We are very excited about partnering with the staff from the Charles Selby Memorial Hospital in Aparri.

We are seeking medical professionals such as Physicians, Nurses, PAs, NPs, Physical Therapists, Pharmacists, Dentists, and Optometrists in addition to the need for non-medical participants on this team.  We will be hosting multiple medical outreaches in local villages in and around Aparri.

Treating the basic health needs of people who will come seeking treatment is one of the ways our team can be used in ministry.  In addition, we hope to provide preventative health education that speaks to the specific health need of the patient.

Medical outreaches open doors for our Filipino hosts to engage in personal relationships with those who come to receive treatment from our team.  Through those relationships, the good news of Jesus can be shared, and ultimately lives will be transformed.

The medical staff from the hospital will be serving side by side with our team and we are in hope that the local pastor of each community will join us as well.

If you are a Surgeon or a Specialist, there is a place for you on this team!  The administration of the Charles Selby hospital has expressed the need for surgeons to come. They have an anesthesiologist available for all surgeries as well as a surgical staff.

Our ultimate goal is to bring glory to God in all that we do while serving in the Philippines!  Our hosts need encouragement as they serve the Lord each day in some pretty challenging conditions.  We want to join them as co-workers in the ministry they have been called to do.  This experience is exciting, challenging, fulfilling, and can be emotional at times.  Oh, and I forgot to mention, humbling.

Our accommodations will be in a hotel or guest house setting. Our meals will be provided as well as the need for transportation.  English and Filipino are the official languages of the Philippines, so we will be able to communicate effectively!

There are needs to be met and God’s love to be shared.  Won’t you join us?

The “C” Word Can Open The Door to The “E” Word

When terrible health news comes, a family needs hope.  In one country, a FAME partner is establishing a Cancer Treatment Center in one of their facilities.  And YOU can help.  There are no Cancer Treatment options for tens of thousands of people in their region.  Because of the cost and distance of travel, treatment just doesn’t happen for many of these people, and the only hope they have is the eternal hope in Jesus IF THEY have heard the good news!

The region in which this partner serves is aggressively persecuting and prosecuting people for Evangelism!  One of the ONLY HOPES for people to HEAR the gospel is through a direct quiet message from medical evangelists!  This Cancer Treatment facility will become a beacon of light and hope cutting through the darkness of false religion.

One thing we’ve learned from Jesus and in over 50 years of medical evangelism, is that hearts are open to the gospel in times of terrible health news!  If you’d like to help provide toward purchasing this $35,000 Cancer Facility Equipment click the Donate Button below, and Note “Cancer Equipment.”

Estimated Trip Cost – $1980
Host Mission:  His Eyes, Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Missionaries:  Felipe and Valerie Colby

We are building a team to serve with the ministry of “His Eyes” directed by Felipe and Valerie Colby located in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.   Along with providing healthcare for patients in need, we are also making ourselves available to the Honduran medical staff in the area of teaching/training.  Preventative healthcare topics will also be taught to Honduran families with the purpose of promoting better healthcare in their homes.

Fungal skin infections, GI issues, respiratory illnesses, and encounters with pain are among the leading illnesses experienced by the Honduran people.  Our focus will be on those people living in rural locations of the country where healthcare is not readily accessible.

Mobile medical clinics help to open doors for national Evangelists who are called to reach people for Christ in a specific community. Illnesses are treated by the medications that are dispensed by our team, but the long-lasting treatment for all of life’s challenges lies in knowing Jesus. Mobile medical camps enhance the ministry of local Evangelists and help draw attention to the Great Physician and His healing.

In addition to ministering through our mobile medical clinics, the team will be involved in personal visits to families who are in need of food. Time will be spent at the “His Eyes” Milk Project where children who attend will hear a Bible Story/Bible Truth, participate in games, and do a craft. Read more at http://www.hiseyeshonduras.com/

Interpreters will be available to the team for all ministries.

Accommodations will be on the mission compound in dorm-style rooms with showers and flush toilets. Food is provided by the ministry of “His Eyes”. Free time is built in to experience the Honduran culture as well.
