The disciples in the small church of Antananarivo, Madagascar, recently had double cause for celebration with the baptisms of two young people. This brings the total number of members to 24.

Stéphanie is the daughter of Falli, who was restored to the fellowship in 2018, and her mother is currently in the process of being restored.

There are no full-time leaders in the church, yet the disciples are faithful and keep on trusting God to help them raise families who love the scriptures and the people around them.

Did you know that Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world and is thought to have broken off from the Indian sub-continent 85 million years ago? Around 90% of its plants and animals are found nowhere else in the world, and you can find both the biggest and smallest chameleons in the world right on their doorstep. Up until 1897, Madagascar was ruled by royal families until they were annexed as a French colony. And although they are independent today, the Malagasy people are among the poorest in the world, with many people living on $2 a day.
