FAME relied heavily on paper to communicate to short-term missions team members. They sent paper applications, mailed letters, spent hours building custom trip binders and printing out pages of trip specifics. The amount of hours it took staff to coordinate a short-term missions trip had limited the number of trips they could run each year. And, in this digital day and age, FAME knew that going paperless was crucial for growth and efficiency.

FAME logoEach year, FAME (Fellowship of Associates of Medical Evangelism) coordinates short-term missions trips worldwide. Dozens of doctors, nurses, PA's and volunteers join teams, gather supplies and work on-site to meet the medical needs of those in third-world countries. FAME coordinates the efforts by arranging the trips for the teams—from partnering with missionaries, to booking plane tickets, gathering/shipping supplies and more.

Fishhook partnered with FAME to redesign its website and create a communications strategy behind short-term missions trips. The new site, fameworld.org, now accurately reflects FAME's culture and DNA, creating a virtual front door consistent with their brand.

Here are a few highlights of their site:

  • Paperless: We took nearly 100 pages of paper (letters, applications, departure binders, etc.) and made it all digital and organized.
  • Simple trip-finding: We created a portal to all the short-term missions trips available around the world. Each trip has a profile of the country, map, missionary, as well as an online application process. Link
  • Member online access: Once people signed up for a trip, we made it easy for them to prepare for their specific trip from start to finish.

"You all were phenomenal to work with. Each one of you are gifted and talented in what you do. Evan is very fortunate to have all of you on his staff and the Lord, I know, is pleased with what you are doing for the Kingdom. We are so pleased with our website and our ability now to promote and facilitate our short-term trips program in a way that will only add excellence to what we do. I have received feedback from many of our trip participants that have been nothing but complimentary to the transformation that has taken place. God’s blessings on each one of you and the ministry of Fishhook." -Lonnie Burley, Director of Short-Term Trips, FAME
