2015-2016 Academic Year TMS studies

"Are you crazy? You have a job, a house, a car, all one can ask for and you are going to jeopardize all of that and risk your family future?"

We heard that quite a lot when we announced our decision to leave job, family and friends in Madagascar and relocate our family in the USA so to attend the Master's Seminary (www.tms.edu). 

Lily and I have been married for 11 years and we have been blessed with 5 beautiful children embarking with us in this new chapter of our lives.

God's calling upon our lives was evident and we chose to surrender to His will because of who He is, and because of the promise He made to His faithful servants. God has laid on our heart a burden to be made tools useful to the Master (2 Tim 2:21) in order to contribute to the development of a new generation of faithful, God-fearing church leaders in our home country. We are thus here to be trained and equipped towards the vision of establishing a French Speaking Bible Training Centre in Madagascar.

We have used all our savings and donations from friends and family in order to gather up the funds required for the first year here in the US. This first year is rapidly coming to an end and our funds are drying up. We were expecting a scholarship to come through to cover our living expenses but it didn't work out.

So we need your help. We are $28,000 short in order to cover our living expenses for this academic year (August 2015-July 2016).
We would also please ask that you would pray for us. Please pray that God will keep us faithful and focused on Him and on His promises.
We cannot think of a better place to be adequately equipped for ministry; we are growing through the study of the Word and the example of godly men and women around us. We praise God for the sweet fellowship we experience here at Grace Community Church under the leadership of Pastor John MacArthur.


We trust in God and rely solely on Him for this adventure to continue. Please pray that He will once more manifest His omnipotence and ability to provide in these circumstances.

Thank you for your prayers and support. You can be part of the vision.
