“Front Liners: Near and Far” 

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news,
who proclaim peace,
who bring good tidings, who say to Zion,
“Your God reigns!”       
Isaiah 52:7 (NIV)

In recent months, much recognition and praise have been stated about the wonderful and beautiful people who serve in our healthcare system. We see yard signs and banners in front of hospitals, long-term care facilities and homes, expressing gratitude to these individuals who face the fears of the current health care crisis every day. How wonderful it is to be surrounded by countless skilled and trained individuals who have extensive facilities and resources to help us stay well and care for us when we are ill. Yet, at FAME, we know this is not a reality for everyone around the world. No, hundreds of millions do not have access to healthcare.

Over FAME’s 50-year history, we have had the honor to partner with countless beautiful servants who practice medical service among the “ends of the earth” people. Heroes who are dedicated to offering medical care where it previously was not offered. And in doing so, proclaiming peace, good tidings, and good news. Your partnership with FAME has allowed us to ship many pallets of care items to forty servants with beautiful feet in Ukraine. These servants care for 2,000 elder orphans, providing wound care, hygiene care, prayer, and gospel teaching. The living conditions these elders experience in Ukraine creates a high-risk environment, yet they are heroes who persist in offering help and hope to these vulnerable individuals every week. Your partnership with FAME has allowed us to provide five pallets worth of needed care items since March 1st.

This is just one example of where your partnership is helping us equip those beautiful servants. Since March, FAME has not only helped servants in Ukraine but also Haiti, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, Zimbabwe, Columbia, Honduras, Japan, India, and Mozambique. In all those places around our world, Kingdom servants are leveraging those resources to help people see that Our God reigns!

Thank you for partnering with us at FAME.

Wound care items from FAME were handed off to ASAP RESCUE in Ukraine, an organization that cares for wounded citizens and soldiers on the front lines….Vadim lives in this village which is right on the front lines.
Rimma lives in Stanitsa, Lugansk, a checkpoint city between the occupied region of eastern Ukraine and Ukraine.  She and her husband, Vladimir, pastor a church in this city, loving and serving hundreds of people on a regular basis.  She is shown having received a couple of boxes of aid…it’s likely this will all be distributed within a few days.  The need is so great…
Lyudmila lives in Mariupol, Ukraine…the diapers and socks and bed liners are critical care for our elderly. The babushkas who receive those hygiene items feel so blessed.
