The Malagasy find music irresistible. They adore it. As long as there is a rhythm, dancing goes on automatically. A strategy had to be developed to ensure that music meets the needs of the people and is also used to share the Good News of Jesus.. Fortunately eve-ryone seemed to have an idea on how to play the guitar here, and as missionaries we found this quite a stepping stone.
Knowing the keyboard worked to my advantage. I have trained a few people and now we are working on the drums and the violin...glory to God a great band is coming up! This acts as an ave-nue for people to identify and explore their talents as well as to grow and their gifts and use music to praise the Lord and reach out to oth-ers. A good blend of Malagasy, Swahili, and English songs fill the air during our worship services on Saturdays and Sundays, said Victor. Thanks to music many have come to know Christ and are eager to attend our services.
