Whenever we hear of a tragedy—especially when it involves the loss of life—we are often led to ask, “Could anything have been done to prevent this?”
This week, both the date on the calendar and the news have stirred much reflection in me. Along with praying for those affected, I find myself asking, “What could be done?”
I just returned from visiting several countries and many of FAME’s global partners across Africa. First, I am encouraged to report
that these partners are doing remarkable work on your behalf—sharing the good news and bringing help and hope to people through medical care. In each region I visited, this medical care simply did not exist before the arrival of these partners.
Secondly, the needs remain great. Stories of tragedy were shared everywhere I went, and they were evident in what I saw. Thousands of tragedies have already been prevented through these global partnerships—but there is still so much more that can be done. Each partner shared a vision with me of what they hope will be possible in the future, so that even more lives can be spared.
Today, I am encouraged because, through the partnership we share in FAME…
“Something CAN be done!”
This Fall, I will be working with several of these partners to plan solutions that will prevent tragedy and reduce risk through
medical evangelism. I invite you to join me in praying that these solutions will be created, planned, funded, and carried out—lowering the vulnerability of thousands upon thousands of people. These new initiatives will build on the same types of projects, shipments, and teams that are currently made possible through the “Yes! Fund” and the partnership of people like you.
Thank you for joining us in bringing solutions through medical evangelism.
