Thank you so much for your continued partnership with FAME through prayer. Our mission partners, scholarship recipients, volunteers, board members and staff are blessed by your devotion to prayer for the ministry.
This month, we ask that you keep in mind those in other parts of the world that are experiencing extreme crises. Whether it be the recent earthquake in Haiti, the crisis in Afghanistan, the unrest in Myanmar, the continued Covid outbreaks worldwide, tropical storms and hurricanes in the Caribbean and southern US, worldwide hunger, and the list goes on, prayer is most definitely needed now all around the world. Recently, I came across some encouraging scriptures when visiting the website for World Vision that speak to people in crises and how God is with us throughout these critical times. Pray not only for the people affected but for the Christians that are working in those areas that the love of Jesus will be shown.
- “Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.” —Psalm 57:1 (NIV)
- “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” —Psalm 46:1 (NIV)
- The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. —Psalm 34:18 (NIV)
- “He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire.” —Psalm 46:9 (NIV)
- “For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help. He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death. He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for precious is their blood in his sight.” —Psalm 72:12-14 (NIV)
- “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” —Matthew 5:4 (NIV)
Another item of prayer for this month is a short-term mission trip that will be taking place September 12-26. This team will be serving with Central Brazil Mission on a 1-week boat trip along the Amazon River. This team will be traveling on the “Frances Ann” and will be docking at multiple remote villages along the river to treat both the physical and spiritual needs of the patients they will be seeing. Please pray for the trip participants that are going on this trip and for the people they will be treating.
Also, this month, please join us in prayer for five new FAME Scholarship recipients that are all studying to become medical professionals in their home countries. These scholarship recipients are sponsored by a FAME mission partner, are enrolled in a medical study program where they are studying to become a doctor, nurse, or midwife and will then serve with that mission partner after graduation for 1-2 years. We are thankful for our wonderful donors who give to the scholarship program and who helped to make these new scholarship grants available.
Other items of prayer include some returning volunteer groups for whom we are so thankful, various conferences that FAME staff will be attending, and visits to some FAME partner churches. Thank you once again for being a Prayer Partner!
