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.
JA, a young girl placed in the orphanage by government recommendation, has found family and belonging there. Earlier this year, a Village of Hope-sponsored medical evangelism outreach was held in Getafe, just west of the orphanage. Among the patients that day was JA’s grandmother, a chronic smoker suffering from serious lung issues.
after impact among the people of the Amazon basin and the hundreds of churches began by their ministry. In the last few decades, their churches and discipleship efforts have been connected to the 3 story medical boat on the Amazon River!
Malawi! Thousands of people around the world feel the same way about YOU – your generosity and partnership are changing lives and spreading the word of God!
for new hospitals, like the one you recently helped open in a slum in Nairobi, Kenya. This is not only the only hospital in the region, but a Level 4 hospital, providing critical services unavailable anywhere else.
And one of the most joyful “open doors” we witness regularly is when a shipping container finally arrives after months of travel by land and sea. The moment the container doors swing open, communities celebrate. Inside, they find medical equipment and supplies—gifts from people like you—donated in Central Indiana and beyond, now ready to serve some of the world’s most remote and underserved areas.
Excitement filled the air as they drove to the trailhead, ready for the adventure ahead. Upon arrival, they unloaded their supplies and began the three-hour hike, hoping to arrive by sunrise to encourage this new congregation.
