Antalaha Children's Prison Ministry Program
We have been busy establishing the Antalaha Children's Prison Ministry Program. The goal is to have a team at the prison in early March to help the local evangelist leaders establish a 1) Work production program and 2) A literacy program to teach reading and writing. Madagascar has a low literacy rate with students not receiving a quality education. Without learning to read and write a children's future is not good.
This program is being supported by gifts to FOMM's Prison Ministry Program/Antalaha Children's Program. All gifts will help us establish and grow this program. Some early goals are: purchase mattresses for the children who now sleep on concrete, provide better quality food, establish a work program that produces a product to support the program and train these children with a life's possible work.
Please pray that our efforts may be successful.
