“AS EXCITED AS A KID ON CHRISTMAS MORNING”
(CLICK HERE for a video info about our Kenya Project)
I can still relate to that anxious anticipation. How about you? But anticipation is one thing, actually waiting is another.
What if the wait is to learn whether or not you have contracted a potentially deadly disease that will change the course of your life dramatically? Now how long do you want to wait?
An hour? A day? A week? How about four weeks? Four weeks is how long a typical patient at Ewaso Nyiro Clinic in Kenya used to wait for test results. And not just any test results, but the results of their HIV tests.
But not anymore! Because of a specialized piece of equipment, the CD4 Counter, provided by FAME, HIV test results are now available in just 30 minutes!
Did I say that the true gift of the CD4 Counter was provided by FAME? Well, actually it was provided by you and other FAME partners like you! Thank you!
No longer do dedicated medical professionals have to guess about treatments – they can know. Again, thank you!
FAME continues to work with the Community Health Partners (CHP) in Kenya to upgrade their laboratory so they can receive important government certification. Once certified, the clinic will be able to open its doors to even more of the underserved and untouchable in the name of Jesus through medical evangelism. (click here for a video)
Paul, a lab technician of CHP recently told Andy Schamerloh and me, “FAME’s partnership in providing the CD4 Counter is allowing us to treat patients at all nine of our clinics through the central lab”. Let me stress once more-when Paul says FAME, he means you!
And you send more than just the CD4 Counter. Here’s a short list of what you’re providing through your FAME partnership.
- Nine CHP clinics are being served by the laboratory.
- 30-minute patient results instead of four weeks with the CD4 Counter.
- Kenyan leaders trained in Community Health Evangelism (CHE).
- The good news of the Gospel is being shared with many thousands of patients.
In 2017, the Ewaso Nyiro Clinic alone physically treated at least 12,523 patients with healing care in the name of Jesus, the Great Physician. They anxiously anticipate that number will increase to 15,000 in 2018.
But your partnership doesn’t stop with medical treatment-remember, as often as possible (nearly always) the physical care comes with an opportunity to explain the Christian faith and the spiritual salvation found in Jesus. In 2017, that number was at least 20,000!
So just one question, would you like to help provide hope and healing to patients in Kenya and 40+ other countries around the world? Through a special gift between now and the end of the year, you can do just that.
No matter the size of your gift, it provides hope and healing. More importantly, it provides an opportunity to receive the TRUE GIFT because, “unto us, a child was born, unto us a son (God’s Gift) was given.”
