Deeper Relationships with God and Each Other

Roma Randrianavelona • December 6, 2024

2024 Highlights: Madagascar

The year 2024 has been a foundational year, marking a new phase of growth for us. Every activity aimed not only at deepening our relationship with Jesus and enhancing the awareness of God's presence in our daily lives, but also at increasing our commitment to making a difference in our world through mission. 

Equipping disciples spiritually and materially for the mission has been the top priority for every ministry in 2024.

Teaching and mentoring

We organised teaching sessions, strengthened spiritual mentoring, and focused on evangelism activities. Generally, the number of Bible studies has doubled compared to the last two years, with an incredible impact from our online contacts, significantly increasing the number of remote bible studies. This marks God's response to our prayers to open all doors for the gospel.

Special attention has been given to the development of Youth and Campus Ministries. This year, we organized our third youth camp, which had a fascinating impact on their dynamism. Their sense of responsibility and belonging, as well as the number of Bible studies, have increased compared to previous years.

These efforts highlight our unwavering commitment to nurturing and empowering all ministry in our community and the next generation, ensuring they are well-prepared to spread God's love and teachings far and wide.

Restoring families

One of the fascinating news is the story of Holy and her family. Holy was restored in early 2023. Her husband, Zou always accompanied her to all church activities for a while. Ten months later, Zou decided to start his restoration studies and was restored last December. Then, in February this year, Holy's sister Fara rejoined the church and was restored. It's amazing to see how God leads us to hope and bold faith. Indeed, our Lord will give strength to his people.

Gratitude

Last, but not least, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for all generous support. Your contributions have been a cornerstone in enabling us to achieve our mission. Thank you for believing in our vision and for standing with us. Your generosity has made a significant difference, and we are profoundly grateful. Together, we are making a lasting impact, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you by our side.
