MEDICAL MISSION TRIPS JANUARY 2014
In January, two FAME Medical Mission Teams served thousands of people in both Myanmar (Burma) and Burkina Faso (West Africa). Both teams came back pointing to how God was moving in incredible ways in those countries. Keep praying for the seeds that were sown by both these teams.

| Dr. Dessieux treating a patient |
The Burkina medical team, led by Dr. Guesly Dessieux, saw over 1600
patients in 5 ½ days of clinics. The
Gospel was preached and over 100 people made decisions for Christ during the 3 nights of evangelistic meetings where God was praised with an energy rarely seen in the States. The medical trip helped Kwame, the missionary, launch forward the starting of a new church in the city of Gourcy. We saw God moving and working in some incredible ways to bring the Gospel to the people of Burkina: (read more)

The Myanmar medical team was led by Dr. Dwain Illman. Here are some excerpts from his reports during the trip:
“This is FAME’s first medical trip to Burma; it is the local group’s first time to host a medical team… One of my patients was a pastor who said he was at one time a Buddhist priest. He was lonely and unfulfilled. At Christmas time he passed by a church and heard Christmas carols. The melodies and words so touched him, he went in to talk with the pastor. Soon after he accepted Christ and then spent several years preparing himself for Christian ministry. I know Christmas carols is also my favorite to sing and hear.” (read more)

Vitamins Needed!
Every Medical Mission Team takes vitamins to distribute to the adults, children, and babies that they treat. Each mission trip takes an average of 30-35,000 adult vitamins and 10-12,000 children’s vitamins.  Recently, we received from a local church many bottles of vitamins from the vitamin drive that they did, as well as a check for over $400 to purchase vitamins. That’s great! Vitamins are costly but very much needed. FAME can buy vitamins at a very good price from our supplier, but it is still very expensive to buy all the vitamins needed for a trip. If you have been collecting vitamins and medicines with the Cardboard Pharmacy project or would like to send a donation to purchase the vitamins and medicines needed for upcoming trips, please send those to FAME right away. You can also give online.
