The Parish Committees of Fort Dauphin and Amboasary met together this past weekend, and invited Amboasary’s link parish of St James the Less and the leadership of Friends of Toliara to join them for prayer and conversation at the end of their first day.
56 people had gathered in St Gregory’s Church, Fort Dauphin to be trained in leading Bible Study, and discuss church budgets and other business.
They reported that there is still no rain in Amboasary to alleviate the drought and famine.
In the next week, they are planning to baptise nearly 500 people in the Parish. Also Rev Berthier from Toamasina Diocese is coming to Amboasary for 12 days to assist with the sudden growth of the Church in this area.
A strong wind came through Ambovombe on Sunday, and blew the roof off the church building. They give thanks to God for protecting them and that no-one was injured. Sadly it didn’t bring any rain with it.
Please hold them all in your prayers.
This is very sad. Let us pray for encouragement and hope for the people in Ambovombe, God’s people from the two churches Anglican and Lutheran there and the church leaders who are handling so many challenges in this area. Especially for Revd Donne, Revd Gaston and his family and others. May the Lord bless them with holy strength and wisdom so that they will run and not grow weary and they will walk and not to be faint.
Amen
Holy
