This is why your partnership with FAME has such a great impact.
Every one of your FAME partners is actively involved in evangelism and deeply connected to local churches and church planters. Last week, I met with one such partner from Asia. The spokesperson began by saying:
I want to start by thanking FAME! In the last two years since the clinic (provided through your generosity to FAME) opened, more than 60,000 people have been treated, and heard the Word of God.
He went on to explain:
These are not people you would expect us to reach. These are people who do not want to hear about Jesus. They avoid Jesus. They oppose Jesus. But something has happened in their lives and they need help, and they have turned to the clinic YOU helped provide.
This clinic is only one of several operated by this partner, who has served faithfully in this community for decades. The national government is openly anti-Christian, yet the village leaders themselves have told our partners:
No other religions are doing this. This favor in the community is part of medical evangelism.
This same spirit of frontline compassion and evangelism is exactly what makes our Giving Tuesday project in Mae Sot, Thailand so urgent and so promising. The only other source of compassionate medical care for the refugees is another clinic you helped provide, but it is a long walk away, and the number of refugees is overwhelming. The new clinic you help build will become their place of hope, just like the clinic that reached 60,000 people in just two years.
Your partnership builds clinics where the gospel can go where it otherwise never would.
Your generosity opens doors no one else can open.
And together, we can make Mae Sot the next place where thousands encounter both healing and the love of Christ.
Thank you for being part of the mission.
