Brother Tom; Leader of men!


  This is Tom... He was responsible for the daily devotionals (as this was a Church-led mission trip). I had never met this guy until this trip, but can tell you that he made an impact on my life!! The daily devotionals were given in hotel lobbies, in parking lots, in vans, and en route... without fail!!!

  Tom led the team in devotions each morning, which helped participants to focus on the work at hand.

  He was awake before anyone else, and made sure we had coffee brewing before anything else!! I would travel around the world with this man any time... any where!!!

  It is inspiring to do mission work with a group of dedicated Christians, weather it be medical work or disaster relief. The shear honesty and depth of caring is unparalleled. This particular trip was led by F.A.M.E. The Fellowship of Associates of Medical Evangelism.

 From the F.A.M.E. website: "Partnering with missionaries and ministries which specifically focus on evangelism is FAME's foundational practice.  FAME is encouraged by the many stories of lives changed by the saving grace of Christ through medical evangelism in places such as Albania, Ghana, India, Zimbabwe, Panama, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Nigeria, Ukraine and others.  It is also gratifying to celebrate countless seeds planted in the hearts of those who are given a healing physical and spiritual touch through the ministry of FAME."
