Just a few miles from the 4th largest shopping mall in all of Asia, in a Manila, Philippines suburb, there are 600,000 people living on standing water. It is free housing, but if you have no address you have no medical care. Our partner, CRAM Worldwide (Christ Reaching Asia Mission), has planted 6 churches among these dear people who need the love of the Lord. Three additional churches are planned to be started in the coming years. CRAM Worldwide is the ministry of Dr. C.Y. and Patricia Kim who serve in southeast Asia. They have implemented many programs to bring help and hope to these families, but one need they see is medical care.

FAME has agreed to partner with CRAM in purchasing a vehicle that can be converted to a mobile clinic. By having a mobile clinic they will be able to drive to different areas where they currently do ministry at these 6 churches. The need is so great for this Mobile Clinic, they have gone ahead and purchased it and put it in operation. (click here to read more or to Donate to this project)

Thank you for your prayers, gifts-in-kind, and financial support for the ministry of FAME. Donations like yours help meet a physical need, opening the door for our partners to share the gospel, meeting their spiritual need.

As the FAME Director of Mission Resources, Andy Schamerloh oversees the shipping of medical supplies and equipment to our missionary partners. Earlier this year he coordinated the shipping of 2- 40′ shipping containers for Charles Selby hospital in Aparri, Philippines. The containers contained medical supplies and equipment that FAME was able to provide through YOUR partnership.

Andy shared, “On back to back days in mid-December, FAME loaded 2 shipping containers bound for the Philippines. By the end of February, both containers had arrived at Charles W. Selby Memorial Hospital in Aparri after a 14-hour drive from Manilla. The containers arrived at 11 pm and were unloaded by the staff that night. Many smiles were present as new supplies and equipment were moved into the hospital. The third-floor remodel was nearly finished and items were stored for final setup.

Among the items FAME shipped, were 2 new cardiac monitors. These were put to use immediately. The morning after the monitors arrived, 3 patients were admitted for cardiac distress. The new monitors were used on the patients and helped to properly diagnose the issues and proceed with proper treatment. It’s not a stretch to say these cardiac monitors saved lives the day they arrived!"

When you partner with FAME, you enable us to save lives both physically and spiritually around the world. Thank you for partnering with us to spread help and hope to those in need.

Looking for a service project for your group that can make a lasting impact on others all around the world? Consider partnering with FAME on the First Aid Kit Project.

Packing first aid kits is a great opportunity for your group to participate in a service project with FAME. These kits will be used by our global mission partners in developing countries to administer simple first aid materials as well as assist in providing wellness promotion and health education.
