Ministry Description:
This summer, our team is heading to Madagascar to partner with Joni and Friends and local ministries in serving the body of Christ. We’ll be coming alongside the local church and families to share the love of Jesus through both word and action. One of our main ministries will be a family retreat for families who have children with disabilities. We’ll help with logistics, lead games, and create an environment filled with joy, encouragement, and rest. Our team will also take part in a conference with Michael Reeves, assisting with hospitality and event support as pastors and believers gather for teaching and fellowship. In addition, we’ll help host a seminary graduation ceremony, celebrating and encouraging new graduates as they step into ministry across Madagascar. To finish the trip, we’ll lead a five-day Vacation Bible School, teaching lessons from Scripture, leading songs, playing games, doing crafts, and sharing the hope of the gospel with children in the community. Each of these opportunities is a chance to serve others and to see firsthand how God is working among the people of Madagascar.
A Word from the GO Leaders:
We are so excited to see how God will work through this year’s Madagascar team! Our prayer is that each student would grow in their love for Christ and in their heart for His people around the world. Madagascar is a nation where God is powerfully at work through His faithful servants.

Please join us in praying that God would use this trip to strengthen His kingdom and deepen our dependence on Him. – Leo & Aimee
