FLOODING IN MYANMAR

FAME is sending out an urgent plea on behalf of our Myanmar mission partner, Simon Thaung, of Asia Christian Services. We received communications from Simon this week that the recent cyclone that hit southeast Asia has left hundreds dead and millions displaced. With flooding in 12 of Myanmar’s 14 states, the water has destroyed close to a quarter million acres of farm land, left 150,000 people homeless, and 200,000 in need of immediate life-saving assistance. This is a country where 70% of the population lives on $2 a day. (Read more)

ZAMBIA MEDICAL CLINIC

FAME is partnering with Dr. Robert Day and Global Outreach International to build a medical clinic in Kitwe, Zambia. Dr. Day’s vision is to live out the James 1:27 mandate to care for orphans and widows in their distress together with their Zambian brothers and sisters in Christ as they fulfill the Great Commission in the Kitwe community. Dr. Day practices medicine as an evangelistic family physician where he regularly shares the Gospel and offers prayer with each patient. As Dr. Day trains other health workers and nurses, he also mentors them in this evangelistic approach. (Read more)

CHE VISION SEMINARS IN MYANMAR

Lonnie Burley, FAME’s Director of Short Term Trips, and Lisa Law, FAME’s Office Manager, traveled to Yangon, Myanmar last month to partner with Asia Christian Services (ACS), Asian Children’s Mission (ACM), and CMF to offer one day CHE Vision Seminars to a group of over 30 pastors and also a group of over 50 students at the Emmaeus Bible Institute (EBI).

These Vision Seminars used small group participation, problem solving and self discovery. They introduced the “why” and “how” of the CHE model and helped with the understanding of the challenges, best practices, and potential results of the CHE process. The Vision Seminars also explored how CHE principles could impact the participants’ discipleship and neighborhoods.

A FAME team plans to go back to Myanmar in January of 2016 to facilitate a week long CHE Training of Trainers 1 (TOT1) class. For more information about this trip or other Training opportunities, contact Lonnie Burley at LBurley@fameworld.org
