Dear Friends and Partners of FAME,
We continue to be humbled by your support of the ministry of FAME through prayer. It is such a blessing to have so many of you praying for our ministry partners, board of directors, volunteers, scholarship recipients, FAME staff, and other people and items. What a comfort to know that you are approaching God’s throne of grace on behalf of the ministry.
This month, please partner with us in praying for our partners in India as they are facing their hardest days yet with Covid-19. Some of the information we have received recently from our partners include:
- Currently, the reported amount of COVID cases is above 350,000 every day. And these are just the reported numbers. We know that the real situation is much worse. On top of this, there is a national shortage of medication, oxygen, medical equipment, and hospital beds. (CICM)
- …. our biggest concern is for oxygen supplies for patients in critical care units. Of the 200,000 deaths so far in India up till now, most people are simply unable to make it due to lack of proper care. Even more saddening is the fact the death count in India does not even include people dying in their huts, homes and villages who are unable to be admitted in hospitals. Hospitals are out of beds. We are out of Hospitals. Families desperately vie for oxygen supplies, as people attempt to care for their sick while Hospitals are unable to admit patients anymore. (NICM)
Please pray for the safety and strength of our partners and that they can be a light of hope in this dark time. Pray also that our partners will be able to receive the funding and supplies needed to be able to help those that are in such great need of medical care.
Other people to pray for this month include our FAME scholarship recipients who are studying to become medical professionals in their home countries. These bright Christian students hope to use their education so that in the future they can share the love of Jesus through the healthcare they will provide. Currently, FAME is providing scholarships to 7 international students.
Also, during the last week of May, continue to pray for some additional countries where we are not currently working, but where we pray opportunities may open for us to share the love of Jesus through medical evangelism. You can use the book or website, Operation World (www.operationworld.org) as a resource.
Blessings in the coming month.
