All of 2023
Dear friends, It has been too long since I have posted an update. This is not because there has not been action in Madagascar, but rather the opposite. Since the last update the school in Ranotsara is nearing completion. The roof is on and final touches have been purchased for painting and windows. I hope to have pictures soon. The people of Ranatsora thank members of St. John for their generous financial gifts to build this needed space. Pastor Jean hosted many people from Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church (Pewaukee, WI) in September. During their visit they provided support and helped dig and install a well on purchased land for the House of Hope, as well as provide gifts to rural children of the area! After that, he was able to come to the USA to visit friends, the Institute for Lutheran Theology, and to share his story and look for new partners in his ministry. He visited Puebla, Mexico to talk with the founder of Living Hope, an top-notch orphanage and school. https://
