An evangelical leader in Madagascar has spoken out against “blatant injustices and violations of fundamental human rights” which occurred as political turbulence engulfed the African island.

Faly Ravoahangy is President of 3M Preaching Institute, a ministry endeavouring to identify, train and equip the next generation of church leaders. He is also a pastor and elder at Ankadivato Biblical Baptist Church in Antananarivo.

Last month, I had the privilege to visit our ministry partner in Madagascar, Pastor Faly, who is based in a local church in the capital, Antananarivo.

His ministry is doing an impressive amount of gospel work in the community and across the nation – from publishing and printing theological books, to training preachers, a youth camp, a new medical ministry, and working with people with disabilities.

Popular Christian TV series The Chosen has shared a video on Instagram of 3,000 orphans in Madagascar watching the show in their own language. 

The airing took place at the direct request of the President of Madagascar, Andry Rajoelina.

Rasoa is tired. She tossed and turned all night and could not sleep. She shares her thin mat of straw and raffia with her mother and two younger sisters.

Sleeping on the floor takes up more than half of the brick house, which has neither windows nor a proper door. Groaning, Rasoa rises and leaves the room.
