Victor's New Year's Message


Happy 2010!
Every new year comes with its surprises, challenges, upsets and of course good tidings and successes! I do believe that this time round, holding on to Jesus, He will uphold us in all righteousness and keep us from hunger during famine and most of all hunger and thirst for Him and desire to become more like Him.

Personally I am doing really well and looking forward to an exciting year with the Lord. This year my ministry is more focused on trainings, with the first youth leaders training being held this Saturday and a men's workshop in the coming month.

We are hoping to visit Kenya around March - May. Keep us in prayer that the Lord may provide the finance required for that to happen. Thanks for your continual support and prayer.

In Christ,
Victor.

Church Planting Plans for the New Year

Happy New Year!

It is now one year and eight months since I came to Madagascar to work as an evangelist focusing on evangelistic missions and church-planting. I have established myself as a major organiser of evangelistic missions in the diocese of Toliara and last November I started a Friday fellowship in a place called Motombe which is doing well and is a major part of my quest to become a top church -planter in this diocese.

In church-planting, my plan initially is to start Sunday - services around Toliara and mid-week fellowships to feed existing churches with new Christians. As far as January is concerned I am trusting God to start two new mid-week services in two different places. In one of those places I wanted to start a church but the place is too near to an existing church.

What can I say except that I covet prayers since starting new fellowships and churches takes the grace of God but also besides that I also request for monthly-support through Church Army Africa in Nairobi. We urgently need funds to facilitate the work that we are doing here in Madagascar.

God bless you and have a great 2010.
