The partnerships we have with FAME global partners allow your impact to have many layers.
- There is the church in Colombia that is rapidly growing, and the pastor, Rogelio who follows up on those who hear the gospel.
- There is your FAME team that works with local medical professionals and medical students
- It is on return trips that unique medical situations can be checked on and taken to the next level
That follow-up is an exciting story of partnership. As you know, FAME receives hundreds of thousands of medical pieces of equipment and supplies every year. These have to be sorted, valued, inventoried, repurposed, and then prepared for shipment to FAME global partners.
On a trip 2 weeks ago to Colombia, your FAME medical mission team cared for and shared the gospel with over 600 people! This is not our first trip to these barrios in Barranquilla, Colombia.
One young man this ministry in Colombia has been treating and caring for, is Robert. He is 14, has a medical situation, and has needed a back brace to be stable and active, but the availability and cost of a back brace made this impossible.
BUT BECAUSE OF PARTNERSHIP, our FAME team was able to take a back brace that was precisely what he needed to increase his mobility, stability, and healthy growth!
What joy was on his face as he tried this on, was treated and prepared for how to use it. He then left the medical camp with a new hope. It reminds me of the lame man in the book of Acts who “went walking and leaping and praising God.
Thank you for your partnership, which allows partnership to bring hope to young men like Robert!
