“Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”
Matthew 10:40-42 ESV
Current Goal – February 2023
DonateWhile we have a long-term vision of how we want to Bless Madagascar, we will need help to make it a reality. For the time being, we are simply planning for our next trip in February of 2023. All donations go to either pay for expenses to reach Madagascar or to bless the people there once we arrive. Our current team goal is to raise $11,000 for everyone on the team to be able to go this year. $10,000 of that is to cover the costs of 5 plane tickets and $1000 for living expenses while we are there.
Hosea’s Life Center
If you attend Grace Community Church in Arlington, TX then will have probably already heard about the annual conference that our head pastor Gary leads there. Hosea Randrianarivony works closely with Gary as the primary liaison, creating a plan and working with his team there to set things up. Hosea also provides help to the locals there in many other ways during his month-long stay leading up to the conference. He has many big dreams about how God might use him to bless Madagascar in ways that only God could fulfill. The first of which is to build a Life Center there, roughly the same as Grace Community Church has now. This important first step will be the beginning of showing God’s love to the people there and starting to change things for the better.
Cheyenne’s Birth Center
10 women a day die in Madagascar simply bringing children into this world. This is mostly due to a lack of education about how to avoid complications in childbirth and proper hygiene. Cheyenne Randrianarivony plans to change this as much as possible by providing services as a midwife. She plans to provide this service at a Birth Center within the Life Center for women to come and learn at. The birth center will also provide a clean and safe space for them to have their babies. We will show God’s love for them in their situation first-hand and through our testimony of how He sent us.
Hosea and Cheyenne have a long-term goal to move to Madagascar and fulfill the dreams above that God has put in their hearts. Any giving above current goals will go towards building the Life Center. This is a big undertaking that can only ever happen with God’s help through His people.
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!
Psalm 96:3 ESV
