ON THEIR WAY TO KENYA

FAME’s, Jeff Coon with Missionaries Amanda and Jonathan Clark

Last week FAME hosted a CHE (Community Health Evangelism) TOT1 Training for individuals who wanted to learn steps for implementing CHE, how to choose a target community and strategies for entering a community. This phase of training is aimed at understanding the Biblical basis for CHE and basic principles of wholistic community based development. Participants learned basic skills for raising awareness, organizing, and mobilizing the community for cooperative action. www.chenetwork.org. A BIG THANK you to Judy Fish from Team Expansion for facilitating the training www.teamexpansion.org/judyfish.

One of the couples that attended were Jonathan and Amanda Clark. They will be leaving later this month to serve as missionaries with OVI Children’s Hospital for critically ill orphans in Migori, Kenya. They hope to be able to use the CHE principles they learned in their mission work. To read more about the Clarks, visit www.clarksinkenya.com 

MIDWIFERY TRAINING IN MYANMAR

Nurse Practitioner and Certified Midwife, Sherry Burnam in Myanmar

A FAME team will be traveling to Myanmar later this month to provide midwifery training and 2 Pastor’s/Health Education Seminars to approximately 60+ midwives, pastors, and community leaders. Spiritual lessons will be taught in the mornings to the pastors and afternoons will consist of health education. These health lessons focus on disease prevention and can easily be applied to the lives of families living in most any community! Seminar participants will leave being challenged to take responsibility for their own health and well-being, as well as gain cooperation within their community to do the same. Replicating what they have learned in their communities will also open doors for them to share about Jesus.

Please partner with us in prayer for this team for safe travel and that that they will be effective in their teaching for God’s glory. 

Our host missionaries are Asian Children’s Mission (ACM) www.asianchildrensmission.org and Asia Christian Services (ACS) www.asiachristianservices.com.
