Happy 40th Anniversary,
FAME


The year was 1970 and a small band of physicians cast a God-sized vision - knowing that medicine could be used effectively for evangelism.  Through God's blessing and the generosity of His people...FAME was born.

Stories From the Front Lines

Thank you for your continued prayers and support for the people of Haiti.  We are beginning to get more information from our partners in Haiti, those serving on the front lines in the relief effort that continues in Haiti.  I'd like to share two of those stories with you. 

The first story is about Rene Goude, a FAME Impact Scholarship recipient.  She is studying medicine in Port-Au-Prince.  Once she becomes a doctor she will serve with Haitian Christian Mission at the hospital FAME helped establish in Fonds Parissien, Haiti.  On January 12th, Rene was waiting outside her school to meet one of her instructors when the earthquake occurred. 

Rene GoudeThe school building collapsed and there are no known survivors who were in the building when it was destroyed.  Rene was hit by some falling debris and suffered some injuries on her face.  At last report she was receiving treatment at the Fonds Parissien Hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.  While we mourn the loss of life at the school and across Haiti, we praise God for His protection of Rene!

The second story comes from Cameron Mayhill, Director of Development at Northwest Haiti Christian Mission.  Here is his story in his own words:

Desperately Needed Supplies from FAME"FAME supplies helped Northwest Haiti Christian Mission provide an immediate response to the hurting people in Port-au-Prince.  As we pulled supplies from storage, over 70% of the supplies that were packed on that truck came from FAME!"
