“From the 25th floor of our Kyiv apartment, my daughter woke up at 5:00 am to the sound of bombing and began crying because she could see the explosions of war in the distance.” As they got closer and closer, this FAME partner realized that they needed to find a place of safety. From basement to basement, and shelter to shelter they eventually (over 2 months) were able to get to the West and then out of the country to Turkey.
Escape! I can’t imagine having to escape my home and Country. I was relieved last week when I was able to escape the oppressive heat outdoors and go into air conditioning. Your FAME partners around the world serve people who have no escape from lack of access to healthcare, illness, or disease, except what you help provide!
Back to our Ukraine ministry partner; She is still coordinating a team of nearly 40 healthcare workers, the majority of whom are still serving the elderly, injured, and vulnerable in this war-torn region. She visited us at the FAME headquarters last week- so many stories of heartbreak and impact!
You, in partnership with FAME, have sent 150 shipments through this partner to Ukraine! Many times we are excited to report about the successful delivery of medical equipment and supplies to you, but today I need to ask for prayer for 120 of these shipments. 30 of them can be accounted for and have reached the intended destination INSIDE Ukraine! But 120 have not been received, and actually are not trackable at this time.
Here’s the opportunity – these shipments not only have needed medical equipment and supplies- this partner (Marcel Fund)
includes what is called “In-Touch” players – basically small MP3-like players that have the Bible, the gospel/salvation message, and encouraging messages in multiple languages. They have been received by thousands and the gospel has been heard in Europe through these players.
Please pray that these shipments will reach the people God ordains, whoever that may be! I heard of a Border guard many years ago who confiscated Bibles at a border crossing; he read one and became a powerful leader of an underground church! God can do more than we can ask or imagine with a shipment of supplies – whether they reach the people to whom they were sent or the people God re-directs them to impact!
Thank you for your partnership in prayer, funding the shipment of gospel-impacting medical equipment and supplies – all that open the door for the good news giving access to help and hope around the world!
