Orphanages in Madagascar and Malawi
With the population of the world nearing 7 Billion people. It is estimated that over 20,000 homeless children die every day in this world. What are we doing to help stop this horrible fait??
In Luke 12:48 Jesus said "for unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required." We have been given so much here in America by God's grace and it is clear that God will require much of us...... We must reach those in need....................
Each year homeless children are abducted by pirates that sail the Indian Ocean. These children are taken and sold as slaves in parts of eastern Africa, Middle East, India and other areas. It brakes my heart that so many children around the world are suffering all because they are orphans.
This is Tantely, he is 19 years old. We use to help him in Antsirabe. Please pray he will see his need for Christ.
Erivien is 7 years old and is very quiet. His birthday is January 5
Fitiavana is 15 years old and a real blessing to us. He is the sweetest young man and loves to learn. He has already gotten saved and born again and loves to read his Bible. Fi told us that God has also called him to preach and he spends alot of time out with Lucien street preaching and witnessing. He is also a big help with the other children. His birthday is April 7
Nirina is 9 years old and is very fun loving. She like to play around and be silly. She is in the 3rd grade and is doing well. We did not have any papers to show us her birthday so we gave her one on October 27. Thankfully she is born again. She realized she was a wicked sinner and God convicted her beside her bed one morning and she told us she repented to God of her sinful life and trusted the shed blood of Christ in Janurary 2011. Praise God
Below are pictures of the children in our orphanage in Antsirabe, Madagascar. The orphanage is in the same building where they meet together for church. Pastor Pierre and Lucien are over the orphanage along with some of the ladies from church.
Please pray for these children that they will see their need to be saved and born again to be used for the glory of God to help reach Madagascar for Christ. We pray the Lord will open the door to recieve more children in the future because an orphanage can be used in a great way to train up children and bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord ( Ephesians 6:4) and train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6).
With any orphanage the cost is always a factor. Thankfully with Madagascar being such a poor country the cost of the orphanage is only $180 per month. There will be a need for extra funds when the children need clothing and or supplies for school. If you would like to help support the orphanage it would be a real blessing. Again, please pray for these children. Thank you and God bless.
We now have an orphanage in Malawi, Africa praise the Lord.

Malawi Orphanage
In November 2010 we were able to start our second home in Malawi Africa. We started with three children and have plans on adding more children after we get our orphan houses build. Lord willing we want to have at least 20+ children in the furture because the problem with AIDS is much worse here in Malawi and more and more children are becoming orphans daily.
Claire is the latest addition to our home. She came to us in March 2011. She lost her mother and her dad is legally blind. He was unable to care for her so Pastor Pierre and Lucien allowed her to come to the home. She is very shy and very sweet just like our other girls. Please pray she will understand her need for Christ and to be born again.
Here we have our first three children. They are brother and sisters who lost their parents to sickness. We actually found them living out in the country in a little house with half the roof missing. They had been kicked out of school because they could not pay their school fee of 75 cents. Thankfully we were able to get a paper from the social worker to allow them to come and be with us.
Their names are: Left to Right: Thokozani 10, Nduzani 15 then Selah, Ruth 4 and Adame who is a young lady we found to help take care of them. Amazingly she was born again and said she had a real heart to help children, praise God.
Please pray for them mainly for their salvation. Also Nduzani has AIDS from a wicked man that rapped her a few years ago. He thought if he laid with a virgin it would take his disease away from him. Sadly, all it did was infect another person not to mention the memory she will have of that horrible moment the rest of her life.
Thankfully the Lord is allowing us to help single mothers in different villlages. We also are caring for 12 other orphans in two different villages. One is a family of 4 boys that live in the house their parents left them before their death. The oldest boy is 18 but still has 3 mores years before finishing school. We are helping them financially making sure they have food and clothes along with any other needs that arise.
In another village we are caring for a family of 8 children. The oldest is 17 and is able to care for his siblings. We also provide food, clothing and other needs. We also spend time witnessing to them showing them their need for the precious blood of Christ. Please pray for all these children's salvationand to be used for God's glory.
