My Amish Friends, most of whom won’t get this email 🙂 , celebrate Epiphany. For a number of years our family lived with many Amish farms next to and near our land and home.
They were a joy to know, and one of the fun celebrations for their community is the Celebration of Epiphany – 12 days after Christmas – celebrating the arrival of the Wisemen to see Jesus.
It is a celebration of the first Gentiles to worship Jesus – a message of hope that He came to ALL PEOPLE, as the angels said about the GOOD NEWS OF GREAT JOY!
Wow! The Wisemen came from the East. Now YOU can partner with FAME and send help and hope to the North, South, East, and West to ALL PEOPLE!
The word “epiphany” though is used in English to mean “A sudden and striking realization!”
Many years ago, when I was pastoring a church in Indiana; I had an “epiphany!” I had a sudden and striking realization that our church’s partnership with FAME didn’t impact one country, one continent or one people – FAME impacts ALL PEOPLE with the GOOD NEWS OF GREAT JOY!
In 2021 YOU sent HELP AND HOPE to 73 Global Partners in 43 Countries – that’s a continuation of the Gifts the Wisemen gave, that’s a continuation of the Gift God gave to the Wisemen!
Maybe you can have an “epiphany – a sudden and striking realization” that some of the best use of your gift-giving can be
through FAME – to send help and hope in a way that for ever $1 you give to FAME 2 people will HEAR THE GOOD NEWS!
Thank you for your partnership- and could you end 2021 with an “Epiphany Gift” to bring help and hope to the world’s most vulnerable?
Blessings,
