From Southeastern Avenue to the world!  From FAME's warehouse on Southeastern Avenue in Indianapolis, much needed medicines and medical supplies are literally sent around the world in the Name of Christ.  The majority of these supplies are sent via forty foot sea containers and over the last year we have sent more containers than ever before.  Here are the containers that have been sent or will soon be sent from December 2008 through November of this year:

December: As He Is, Zimbabwe
January: Ghana Christian Mission, Ghana
February: Remember the Children, Romania (20 foot container)
March: Haitian Christian Mission
June: Haitian Christian Outreach
June: Northwest Haiti Christian Mission
September: Frances and Rhoda Valentine, Sierra Leone
October: Remember the Children, Romania
November:  His Eyes, Honduras
 
Each of these containers represents thousands of dollars of urgently needed medical supplies reaching the mission field to be used as evangelistic tools for the gospel.  (The average value of the contents of one of the containers FAME ships is estimated to be $200,000.) Behind the value of the "things" are the people. There are people on this side of "the pond" who donate items, volunteer to sort and inventory items, and volunteer crews that load the containers.  There are people on the receiving end who are able to put these items to use for the Kingdom and sick people who are treated effectively because these items are available.
 
A beautiful story of how these items are about people and not just about shipping things was the recent partnership between FAME, Indian Creek Christian Church in Indianapolis, and Francis and Rhoda Valentine, who are natives of Sierra Leone, currently living in Indianapolis but working to help their home country.  Please read the following two articles, one from the view of the recipients and one from the view of the church sending the supplies.  From Southeastern Avenue to Sierra Leone and beyond!
