Thank you so much for your faithful partnership with FAME through prayer. We and our ministry partners are blessed to have so many around the world praying for the ministry of FAME.
With the recent passing of Dr. Charles Stanley, I found myself reading some of his older devotions
that he had written. I came across one that I thought was such a good reminder of loving others. He wrote, Jesus spent His last evening before the crucifixion reminding the disciples of essential principles. Kneeling to wash their feet, He gave them a new commandment—to love one another. In fact, over the course of the evening, He would repeat that phrase five times (John 13:34-35; 15:12, 17). He emphasized the command because He knew it was not only critically important but also one of the toughest to obey.
Putting self-interest before the needs of others is what comes naturally. But since the believer’s old self has been crucified, God’s Spirit can live in and through him or her. Giving of ourselves on behalf of someone else fits who we are in Christ. In fact, we show God’s love best when we care for others—especially those who aren’t easy to love.
If you were asked what you find most attractive about God, wouldn’t you say it’s His love? His plan is to use His children to meet emotional, material, spiritual, and physical needs everywhere. So, God’s love should overflow from us to fill the empty hearts and hands of those in our sphere of influence.
This month, please partner with us in prayer for many of the volunteers that come to FAME to serve and to show their love to people around the world by giving of their time and talents here so that others around the world can be healed both physically and spiritually. FAME could not do all it does without the help of so many volunteers that come alongside us.
Please pray also, for our FAME scholarship recipients that are studying to become medical professionals. These International Christian students are all studying in their home country and after graduation will serve with a mission partner to provide medical and spiritual healing.
We also would like to ask for prayers for some new sustainable healthcare project grants that were approved at the last FAME Board of Directors meeting in April. Please pray that the necessary funding is raised for these projects and that once built, they will bring people to Jesus through medical evangelism.
Lastly, take time this Memorial Day to remember those who have sacrificed so much for our country, and pray for those that continue to serve.
Blessings in the coming month,
