Blessing for Ankevohevo

old dilapidated church in AnkevohevoWe’re feeling very blessed that our friend Ken Doxsee and his congregation at Central Lutheran Church in Eugene, Oregon are doing a funds drive to help pay for our church building project in Ankevohevo Madagascar. Through their generosity and fundraising efforts we are well on our way to paying for this project.

This village already has clean water, so their first request was a new Lutheran church building. The current church is 24 years old and in disrepair and a bit unstable. It is made of mud and sticks with a dirt floor, making it very dusty inside. The dust only contributes to the already-prevalent respiratory problems among the villagers. Construction on the new church building begins in June 2016.

We’re excited the people of Ankevohevo and surrounding villages will finally have a safe, clean and comfortable place to worship. For more information about this project, visit: https://gemsofmadagascar.org/projects/.

The price tag on this new church building is approximately $8,300. If you’d like to donate to this project through the church, please send checks to:
Central Lutheran Church
1857 Potter Street
Eugene, Oregon 97403
Please write ‘Madagascar’ on the comments line.

If you’re looking for some wonderful hand-crafted gifts for Christmas or some delicious soup for dinner, please stop by Friday 10/9 from 2:00-7:00pm or Saturday 10/10 from 9:00am-2:00pm at 650 S Park Ave, Fort Lupton, CO.

GemsOfMadagascar.org Is Now Tax Exempt

I’m pleased to announce that GemsOfMadagascar.org is officially tax exempt. We received approval of our 501(c)(3) application from the IRS in just 4 business days! I guess it helped that we had a professional fundraiser.

We are so grateful that LifeBridge Christian Church took us under their wing to get us started, but it’s time for us to leave the nest! Now we can accept tax deductible donations directly to GemsOfMadagascar.org!

I’m so excited to see where the ministry takes us! Good things are happening…

Small Musical Instruments Needed

Needed Small Musical InstrumentsIt is our goal to bring music to Ankevohevo as a test to see how it goes. I hope we will get enough funding for their new church. Then we can teach them to play music so they can potentially put on concerts for the visitors to Ranomafana Park. This would give them a way to earn a little money extra money for their village.

To start teaching them, we are collecting small instruments such as recorders (shown in the photo), harmonicas, flutes, maracas, tambourines etc.

Please send any you might want to get rid of to:

Mead, CO 80542

Or if you’re in Northern Colorado and you’d like me to pick them up, please contact me at 303-931-3141.
