New Words, Same Great Mission
Recently I noticed a box of cereal that said, "New package, same great taste!"  The manufacturer updated the product packaging to a more contemporary look but wanted us to know it still contained the same great cereal inside.  The same might be said of FAME.  Recently, our Board of Directors approved new mission and vision statements.  We are still the same great mission, still spreading the fame of Christ through medical evangelism; we just decided it was time to "freshen up" our purpose and vision statements in more contemporary language.  Here are the new statements; we hope you like them:

MISSION:  FAME is passionate in taking help and hope in the name of Christ to the unreached and underserved in the world through medical evangelism.

VISION:  A GLOBAL LEADER IN EVANGELISM THROUGH HEALTHCARE

·     Taking Christ to the unreached and underserved

·     Integrating spiritual and physical healing

·     Providing medical supplies and facilities for the developing world

·     Assisting nationals to become healthcare providers and educators

·     Promoting health and wellness through community development

One of the highlights for 2010 will be the year-long celebration of FAME's 40th Anniversary. This will be an exciting time to celebrate what God has done in and through the people of FAME and to look ahead to what's next. It will also be an ideal opportunity to educate and connect more people into what God is doing through FAME.

FAME and CMF take Your Church and AIDS to Turner, Oregon in May!
Your Church and AIDSFAME and CMF International invite you to a strategic day focused on the compassionate response of the Church to the global AIDS emergency.

Forty million is a large figure to wrap your mind around, but that's how many people throughout the world are HIV positive. Of the 8,000 people who die each day as a result of the AIDS epidemic, more than 1,300 of them are children. The UN estimates that by the year 2010, 25 million children will be orphans because of AIDS. The numbers are overwhelming, but each number represents a person whom God loves. The good news is that Jesus Christ's Church is doing more than ever before to minister to those whose lives are affected by HIV/AIDS. FAME and CMF have created a one-day conference simply called Your Church and AIDS, which focused on the Church's compassionate response to the global AIDS emergency. Attendees have been equipped with practical ways that they and their churches can minister to those lives touched by AIDS at home and around the world.

Check out these few photos from the Your Church and AIDS workshop in 2009.
