Question: What Do They Have in Common?
Answer: A Partnership with FAME!
Ahamadou is like most one-year-olds who just learned to walk—curious and unaware of the dangers around him. In the region where he lives, most households cook over open flames at ground level, and children often play nearby.
One day, while playing near the cook fire and just a few steps from his mother, Ahamadou stepped into a pot of boiling water. He was seriously scalded and burned.
In his community, a young couple serves with a global Bible translation team. Over the decades, FAME has learned a powerful truth: Christian leaders often become the “go-to” resource when help is needed. The love of Jesus flows into communities, and no matter the original mission—translation, pastoring, church planting, orphan care, or teaching—people turn to them in moments of crisis.
Because the “love of Christ compels us,” these Christian leaders are approached with needs related to health, hunger, and deep personal hardship.
Ahamadou’s mother brought him to this Bible translation couple. Though their resources were limited, they kept basic burn supplies—like gauze and wound care essentials—on hand. Last year, two college girls were serving alongside the couple and became deeply connected with this young boy and his story.
This summer, those same girls contacted FAME. They’re returning to the region for several reasons, but one of them is to bring burn dressings, antibiotic creams, and basic wound care materials—essentials that are scarce in this community. Many families seek help from Christian leaders because of the high cost, distance, or total inaccessibility of healthcare.
Partnership.
When you partner with FAME, you partner with Christian leaders who are touching the world in so many ways. I love FAME because it supports not only medical professionals, but also church planters, Bible translators, clean water teams, orphan caregivers, and leadership trainers. Through your support, you help serve orphans, widows, the injured, the trafficked, and those living with mobility challenges.
Partnership.
This is why FAME says that when you partner with us, you’re serving “the world’s most vulnerable.”
Thank you for your partnership!
