Shepherd of the Hills has partnered for many years with Pastor Jean and Aina Rajaonasy in their home country of Madagascar. Through Pastor Jean and his wife Aina, we are able to support the House of Hope ministry which focuses on children and families.
Over the years, Shepherd of the Hills has been blessed to help by purchasing land and building a wall with a gate to secure the land, drilling a well to provide the precious gift of water. And through the generosity of our congregation, last year’s Thanksgiving Challenge Offering went to support the building of the very first House of Hope Madagascar dormitory building and sanitary block. This year, we have the opportunity to once again be a part of what God is doing in Madagascar as we will give 100% of the Thanksgiving Challenge offering to the House of Hope. This offering will directly help kick off the next phase of the project which is to build a school! While classes are already being held in the new dormitory, a separate school building will offer much needed space for learning and the potential to free up the dormitory to welcome 24 additional students in the future. Through Christ centered education, we are helping break the cycle of generational poverty and shape the future leaders of Madagascar.
Thanks to your generous support together we are making an impact in the city of Ihosy and the surrounding villages. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for more ways to learn about the House of Hope ministry and the ways God continues to work through this project.
