On March 28, 2025, a devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, killing over 4,000 people, injuring more than 20,000, and destroying 70% of buildings.

Amid the chaos in Sagaing, your FAME partner stepped in to provide emergency medical care—prioritizing the critically injured, arranging urgent referrals, and performing lifesaving operations. Both children and adults received compassionate care, regardless of background, as the team reflected God’s love in action.

Because of your faithfulness, FAME was able to send emergency funds immediately—but more support is urgently needed.

The medical team responded in Buddhist monasteries and Muslim rehab camps. Meanwhile, FAME friends at Samaritan’s Purse deployed emergency medical teams to Nay Pyi Daw Football Stadium, quickly transforming it into a trauma care and surgery center. Their swift, compassionate response reflected the heart of Christ—proving that love knows no boundaries. Dr. Aung, one of your FAME partners, shared the story of Nay Lin:

When the earthquake struck Sagaing, Nay Lin stood helpless as his home collapsed. Inside, his world crumbled—the ceiling fell, taking the life of his young son and severely injuring his wife. As rescuers pulled her from the wreckage, he faced every parent’s worst nightmare.

We arranged emergency surgery for his wife at a mobile hospital. Holding the relief kit, he told us, ‘Your team was the first light in my darkness.’ Though his son could not be brought back, your compassion helped him take the first step toward healing.”

At FAME, I always say we are partners in Medical Evangelism. Your generosity allows us to work with major global ministries, local indigenous teams, and even neighbors just up the highway in Indy (like IDES)—all to meet the needs of the world’s most vulnerable, in the name of Jesus.

I don’t yet know how much FAME will send in response to this healthcare crisis—but your response will help determine that.

Thank you for your partnership. Your FAME global partners overcome unimaginable challenges—some so extreme that elephants had to help pull the cars of supplies through muddy, impassable roads!

Together, we can keep moving forward—bringing healing and hope to those who need it most.

Thank you for your faithful partnership with FAME through prayer. We are truly blessed to have you walking alongside us, lifting up our mission partners, volunteers, board members, staff, scholarship recipients, trip participants, and many other needs in prayer.

This month’s prayer calendar includes not only our upcoming short-term mission trips for this year but also a few that have already been scheduled for 2026–2028. These medical mission teams consist of both medical professionals and non-medical volunteers — each playing a vital role in the overall mission and impact of the team.

Please join us in praying for:

• The team members who have already committed to serve
• Others to be moved to want to serve on these trips
• Our host mission partners around the world
• The individuals who will receive medical care that, as they are treated in the name of Jesus, their hearts may be open to the message of the Gospel.

Additionally, we ask for your prayers over several new sustainable healthcare project grants approved by our Board of Directors—both at the recent April meeting and the Fall 2024 meeting. Pray for the necessary funding to be raised and for each project to become a source of healing and hope, drawing people to Jesus through medical evangelism.

Thank you again for your continued partnership in prayer.
