Refugees receive Compassionate Care

Because of YOU many great things happen from FAME partnerships. Because FAME staff are the best; the right people in the right place at the right time…. much ministry and evangelism occur just because of networking, listening, and caring about the global needs of the people of the world!

Refugees are one place FAME networking meets substantial needs!

Here is one example:

A few months ago, I received an “Urgent Request” from FAME — a nurse was needed to serve in Germany, providing care for about 40 Ukrainian refugees while their full-time nurse, J.J. traveled home for a much-needed break.

As a nurse with neuro ICU and hospice experience, I knew God was calling me to go, even though this was a 5 ½ week assignment — far longer than my previous FAME mission trips. After prayer and support from my family, I packed my bags.

When I arrived, I met four men with paraplegia who required daily care and careful monitoring. These men were kind, faithful, and full of gratitude — never complaining about their circumstances. Every morning, I provided wound care, mobility support, and encouragement. Mealtimes became sacred moments, sharing laughter, food, and fellowship across language barriers.

One of the most powerful moments came in my final week when one man, who had been confined to bed for months, joined me and the others for an outing to town. A few days later, I saw him outside again, smiling with friends. I couldn’t help but thank God — He was working through me, giving me the compassion and strength to meet not only physical needs but emotional ones as well.

Saying goodbye was one of the hardest parts of the trip. I cried with the residents I had come to love. Though I am home now, I carry their faces, their faith, and their joy with me.

Thank you for making this possible. Your support allowed me to be the hands and feet of Jesus for these refugees — sharing His love in both word and deed!  – John C.

Thank you for your partnership!
