7th Missionary Journey - SIM Spiritual Life Conference 2026
The Conference was a very refreshing time of connecting with other missionaries, working in groups, listening to the word of God, praying together, Bible Study, playing games and many other fun activities. Nancy and I enjoyed it very much and were renewed spiritually.
8th Missionary Journey - T4T training in Madagascar
Nancy and I were joined by co-missionaries: Onias Tapera Rev, of Christian World Outreach, who specializes in leadership training, and SIM Missionaries serving in Malawi, Dr. Anatole and his wife Niva.
The Madagascar SIM Director welcomed us warmly in absence as he was on another mission trip within Madagascar. Our Madagascar T4T team welcomed us at the Airport. We thank God for the fellowship and opportunity to serve with them in the country.
The following were tasks accomplished:
1) We visited a T4T club in Antananarivo. However, there were some restrictions for gathering the children due to recent child trafficking in the city. Our T4T team organized a time to meet some of the children, not all. Indeed, it was very encouraging and exciting to see the positive impact T4T is having on the children. We were with the team as they reached out to the children and the children shared with us what they are learning. To God be the Glory!
2) Secondly we attended the T4T Launch in Moramanga. This was completely outstanding seeing the local volunteers teachings the children in the community. It was a wow!!! To God be the Glory. Indeed, T4T is God’s movement, impacting the upcoming generation. You are forever appreciated for partnering with us in planting seeds for the future.
3) Thirdly we went to another city for the training. Once gain we cannot stop thanking God for T4T's impactful teachers. We were privileged that Dr Anatole taught on general health for adults and children from the medical point of view. We all liked it so much.
