The heart matters. Jesus says so, and doctors agree.

Jesus said, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.” And renowned cardiologist Dr. Valentin Fuster once said, “The heart is not only a pump. It is a symbol of life and emotion. Understanding it is to understand ourselves.”

Right now, in a place that tugs at our hearts, lives are at stake.

A FAME partner recently requested essential medical supplies for a Cardiology Clinic in Kyiv, Ukraine—a region still facing war, hardship, and uncertainty. In this crisis, cardiovascular care remains a critical need, but some vital medical devices, like vascular endoprostheses, are unavailable in this part of Ukraine.

Through the generosity of our FAME partners from coast to coast, God has provided 15 vascular endoprostheses along with numerous vascular grafts and cardiovascular stents. These life-saving tools will help repair damaged blood vessels and arteries, offering healing and hope to those in need.

No matter the circumstances in a country, FAME and its partners remain committed to serving the world’s most vulnerable. We do this because we know every life matters to God.

Would you take a moment to pray for the patients and medical teams who will be using these resources? Your prayers and

support make a real difference in lives across the globe.

Thank you for standing with FAME to bring hope and healing to “every nation, tribe, and tongue.”

Blessings,
Bill

Without getting into the weeds of varying opinions, FAME has recently received requests for emergency assistance from some of our partners.

Let me give you a little background on FAME’s response.

As you probably know, FAME is committed to making sustainable decisions and engaging in activities that foster long-term impact. What that means is that every funding decision FAME makes to help our global partners is done in a way that avoids creating dependency on FAME. And success story after success story can be told of global partners who are now independent and fully run by nationals. FAME grants are designed to accelerate a global partner’s ability to spread the gospel through medical evangelism.

Recently, some government decisions on a global level have had an immediate impact on the availability of medical supplies for some of our partners. Others may face long-term challenges if funding approvals are not renewed in the future.

Additionally, I just returned from the South Pacific, where one dear global partner experienced a devastating fire in their community that injured hundreds of people. Medical supplies were desperately needed in the aftermath.

Both of these crisis situations were opportunities for FAME to respond through our emergency fund. Praise God for the hard work of all our global partners as they build sustainable ministries. At the same time, we praise God for generous people like you who keep FAME in a financial position to respond when emergencies arise.

If you’d like to give to the Yes! Fund to help with emergency needs, you can make a note of that with any gift you give, whether online or through the mail.

Thank you for your generous partnership, which opens doors to the world’s most vulnerable through medical evangelism.

Thank you for your continued partnership with FAME through prayer.

The FAME staff, Board members, volunteers, scholarship recipients, volunteers, trip participants, and mission partners are blessed in knowing that you come alongside us in prayer for the ministry of FAME each day.

As Spring begins again, let us be reminded of the mighty works of the Creator who makes things new. From the warmer spring weather to the rains that then make the beautiful Crocuses bloom, to the green grass that starts to come “back to life”, and to the longer days where we can enjoy the warmth of the sun, God’s beauty surrounds us! And not only does He show His power through His Creation, He also shows us His power through the answered prayers of His people. So, again thank you for praying for FAME!

This month we have a short-term medical mission team going to Mexico to serve with Worldwide Hispanic Outreach (WWHO). This team will be conducting medical outreaches around la Biznaga and other surrounding villages. Please pray for each of the participants that will be serving on the trip, the mission partners there, and the people they will be serving. Pray that the love of Jesus will be shown to the people who will be receiving medical care in the name of Christ.

We also ask for prayer for FAME staff attending various conferences, volunteer groups that will be serving at the FAME office/warehouse, church visits, and FAME scholarship recipients. Currently, 9 students are receiving medical scholarships to help them financially as they study to become medical professionals in their home countries. These students are sponsored by a FAME Mission Partner and will then serve with them at least 1-2 years after graduation.

Thank you again for your partnership in prayer and blessings in the coming month,
