Thank you so much for your continued support of the ministry of FAME through prayer. We find it a blessing to have you come alongside us each day praying for FAME staff, board members, mission partners, trip participants, scholarship recipients, volunteers, shipments of medical supplies, healthcare projects, church visits and other items of ministry.

This month we ask for prayers for a FAME mission trip that left on January 31 for Malawi to serve with Akonda Ministries through medical outreaches. Medical outreaches open doors for our Malawi 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. Our ultimate goal is to bring glory to God in all that we do while serving in Malawi! Please pray for not only the team, but also the people they will be treating in the name of Christ.

We also ask for prayers for the FAME staff that give of their time and talents to further the ministry of FAME so that the world’s most vulnerable may be touched by the love of Christ through medical evangelism. Please pray that the Lord guides them as they serve.

Continue to pray as well for many of our faithful volunteers that serve the ministry. These people give of their time and talents so that people around the world can receive the medical care they need and can hear the Good News. FAME truly could not do all it does without the help of so many.

Lastly, please pray for Executive Director, Bill Warren as he travels to Asia to meet with FAME Partners in the Philippines and Thailand. He will be visiting some of the sustainable healthcare projects FAME was able to help fund through the support of so many of our faithful donors. We look forward to seeing how God will use these projects for His glory.

Blessings in the coming month.

February Prayer Calendar

One of our partners in one of the poorest regions of the world said this: It is pathetic to see children dying even for very common illnesses such as Hepatitis, Malaria, dengue, malnutrition etc., due to lack of proper medical care. They are supposed to be the future of our country.

So, they began medical camps, and thanks to your generosity to FAME, a grant was given to help open a remarkable mission hospital and clinic last year. I knew they also continued to do medical camps but I HAD NO IDEA HOW MANY until a recent communication.

In 96 different locations they provided free medical consultations and general health exams which was able to allow referrals to the Mission Hospital and Clinic.

96! I never cease to be amazed at the hard work and dedication of your FAME partners around the world. One partner managing vital medical care in facilities and remotely at 96 locations makes me grateful:

One: for global FAME partners like we have
Two: for people like you who make it possible.

Thank you for your partnership in medical evangelism!

One country FAME has been actively working in for decades is Haiti. The sustainability model which FAME uses and follows has been in place for many years- and IT is Working! During this season of limited outside resources, the Haitian leadership of all of your FAME partners have been outstanding!

One remodel and upgrade sustainable project is in the region of Jacmel. This clinic, established in 2014 has serious limited resources and space. This update and remodel will multiply their work and your impact! This ministry focuses on vulnerable children! 40% of Haiti’s children have no access to basic healthcare – this clinic will change that situation!

Even though Haiti has been closed to outsiders, Gods Haitian people have been making an impact. This new door of opportunity this year will change live for eternity.

Thank you for your partnership in medical evangelism!

Happy New Year!

“new , nuevo, nouveau, novo, mpya, naya”

I hear “New” being said in many languages and it always brings a sense of hope. One of the most exciting new things ahead in 2025 is the record number of international short term trips that are scheduled. Our first Short-Term Team of the year arrived in SE Asia this week

The team’s “base” for this trip will be “Grace Clinic” in Mae Sot Thailand. This brand new facility connected with Grace Church is in a refugee settlement on the border with Myanmar. It is the ONLY clinic for days of walking and serves some of the most vulnerable people on earth at this moment.

Because of you, many new things are ahead in 2025! FAME is honored to partner with you to send teams to share the news of Jesus because “if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:17

Thank you for your partnership!

There’s a lot of talk about knowing your “why.” I tell you a lot of stories about the people and projects of the “how” of medical evangelism, but as we head into a new year, may I emphasize the “why” and take it a step further to ask for your prayer?

Part of the results of what you make possible at FAME are in our “control” but there is one part that is up to the Holy Spirit.

One thing to pray for in 2025 is that each person treated in the name of Jesus and who is told the good news will respond “Yes!” to Jesus!

Every FAME partner has a plan for evangelism. Each one is a little different but they are all intentional in their approach.  Above is a picture of the Chaplain’s motorcycle for one African partner. They not only share the good news while someone is a patient at their clinics, but the chaplain follows up and visits them afterwards too! At this specific mission, which has multiple 24/7 clinics, the chaplain is also the church planting director for the area!

So a prayer request for 2025 is that doors will open for FAME partners and trip participants to share the gospel (our part) and that each person who hears will respond “Yes!” to Jesus!

Thank you for your partnership in medical evangelism!
