Description:

FAME impacts thousands of adults and children globally through better medical access and care. These life-changing improvements come through FAME’s broad programming across three core targets: Sustainable Medical Projects, Shipping Medicines and Medical Supplies, and Mobilization of Short-term Trips. Through partnerships with Christian missions and indigenous churches throughout the world, FAME seeks to aid under reached and under-served populations utilizing medical evangelism. Healthy families produce better relationships and promote healthier global communities. FAME helps facilitate these ends through our paid staff, hundreds of volunteers, and strategic partnerships and networks around the world who serve these communities modeling the love of Christ through medical outreach.

Trip participants can experience ministry first-hand as they see, touch, and come into contact with the "poor in spirit.” Doctors, nurses, dentists, optometrists, and medical professionals of all kinds are needed.

Non-medical participants are also needed to help work in the areas of triage, health education, pharmacy and serving in many other ways. People with special skills such as electricians, teachers, and pastors can often be utilized.

To encourage sustainability, mission teams combine teaching and training to help nationals continue providing medical treatment extending beyond the short-term trip.
