May 15, 2010

Mad_Clinic Dave Swann, is the director of MM-Suisse, an association which supports and helps development projects be more successful.  He wrote the following report on the work taking place in Madagascar which provides an excellent overview of this YWAM team that we partner with:

I have been to Tamatave several times and I am always impressed with the success of this project.

In the bush, there is a marked difference between the villages where they are working and the others.  This is noticeable in general cleanliness of the village as well as the demeanor of the population… 

Prayer & Compassion Is Key to Impact in Madagascar

May 1, 2010

MalagasyGirls100Two church-planters in the bush of Madagascar recently shared with me how they began to touch the lives of an unreached tribe. It struck me that these basic principles of prayer plus acts of compassion have the same powerful impact everywhere in the world:

"We arrived in this village 3 weeks ago where we already had a contact. The villagers lent us a house that no one else wanted to use as it was “fady” (taboo, spooked) and would bring bad luck. At first, nobody wanted to visit us.  But we began to do warfare through prayer and literacy classes outside for the women.  Eventually the villagers saw that we were still alive! It was a testimony of God’s power! Further, they saw that we cared! And our house is not empty any more; we are sharing God’s word and lots of people are coming to us to ask for prayer.  We have begun to train up about 15 of these villagers to know God and share him with others.”

You help us support this exciting team in Madagascar that is seeing some amazing results:

  • More people baptized and reached than ever.
  • Existing leaders receiving ongoing training to develop and reproduce their churches
  • By 2012 forty-five clinics will be established serving 200,000 people that would otherwise have no health care available
