| Christian greetings, I hope your year has began on a high note. I am very well here in Madagascar in this brand new year of 2009. I must confess that the Lord has been so gracious to our ministry here in Madagascar and we are not taking anything for granted. Since our arrival here neither Duncan nor I has had any serious sickness and that is not something to take lightly. So praise God with us for his faithfulness. This year seems to have a lot of things ahead both in the evangelism and youth departments in the entire southern part of our diocese which covers 1000km of coastline. Next week I will be involved in a youth leaders workshop for a day. We are focusing on training the emerging leaders. In actual sense they are the people who are taking over leadership. The St.Luke's Church here in Ankilifaly where we are based is predominantly youth and so most of our energies are directed towards them but on the other hand we are not forgetting the elderly as well and so there are special programmes that go on especially in the area of Bible study and discipleship. We have a task to make sure that the word of God is made simple and clear and that it is understood the way it should be and our pastor has been so helpful especially in the area of language. Our pastor here Rev.Stephan will be moving to another parish which is 1500km away by February. His wife has been sick for some time now so please pray for him and his family as they start a new work in their new ministry base. In the beginning of February as well I will be involved in teaching the new student evangelists at the Bible School in Ankilifaly. Continue praying that the Lord's hand may be upon us and all the work that we are doing here. Thank you so much for all your prayers and financial support. Have yourselves an exciting 2009! God Bless Victor |
