URGENT NEED FOR MEDICINES AND VITAMINS !

In the months of January-March, FAME will be mobilizing four medical mission teams to the countries of Myanmar, India, the Dominican Republic, and Guatemala. When teams go out, they take with them a variety of medicines and vitamins to use on the field. Medicine types range from over the counter medicines like Tylenol, Ibuprofen, antifungal creams and eye drops, to life saving antibiotics.

Currently, our supply of medicines to take on these trips is critically low. If you are looking for a way to share your blessings with others, won’t you consider donating some of these much needed medicines to FAME to share with people all around the world? If you would like more information on how you can help restock our medicine and vitamin supply in time for our January trips, click here.

#GivingTuesday is the Tuesday, after Black Friday and Cyber Monday. However, Christmas is not about getting stuff, it’s about celebrating the amazing generosity of the God of the universe, who gave His one and only Son to the world; not to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. (see John 3:16-21) When we LIVE GENEROUSLY we are reflecting the very image of God.

During the entire month, but especially on December 1, FAME is promoting Giving HOPEday with a goal to raise $10,000! Your generous gifts will provide HOPE to thousands who live in some of the darkest parts of the world. Click here to get more information on how you can GIVE HOPE.

NIGHT OF HOPE 2015

What a blessed evening FAME had on October 23, at our annual Night of Hope Banquet. The event, with 224 in attendance, raised more than $21,000 for Life in Abundance projects, to remodel and resupply three separate clinics in South Sudan. Dr. Florence Muindi, Life in Abundance founder and CEO, was the guest speaker and an inspiration to all that were present. To read Dr. Muindi’s story click here.

If you missed this year’s Night of Hope, plan now to attend the next. Mark your calendars for October 21, 2016.

HONDURAS OCTOBER 2015

In October, Dr. Guy Robins led a FAME team of 10 medical and non-medical participants to Honduras to serve with His Eyes and missionaries, Felipe and Valerie Colby. Hundreds of patients were seen and the love of Christ was shown, as the team served alongside the medical professionals there in and around Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The team also conducted some healthcare education classes, as they spoke about and answered questions on topics like diabetes, high blood pressure, chikungunya, and more.
