Gaston was ordained Deacon in August 2019. He and his wife, Oliviah, and family (Marc, Marinah and Katherinah) moved to their new parish in Ambovombe recently.  It is several days drive from the Cathedral, and thus a long way from the community which has been their support network for about the last several years.  Ambovombe is a much poorer area than Toliara town, with food insecurity and water is scarce and not good for drinking.

Gaston has shared some photos of the Church at Ankilimanitsy, which meets under a tree.  This village is about 2 kilometres from Ambovombe.

He is responsible for 22 Churches!  Yesterday they opened another Church about 4 kilometres from Ambovombe. Next week they will open some more in Amboasary.

Pray from Gaston and Oliviah as they settle into their ministry in this new area, and get used to the challenges of life in this community.  Pray for his safety as he travels along “roads” and paths to visit the outlying churches
