After a few months everyone in the congregation knew something about Madagascar and every child could find it on a map. God blessed us with an opportunity to help others and strengthen the bond among our members. We thank you for this wonderful opportunity. None of the 10 countries that receive the most U.S. aid are among the 20 nations considered the world's poorest. The rest goes to military or security related economic aid.
Japan gives the greatest amount.
A significant part of GHM's ministry is providing training for health care workers. This includes scholarships for doctors to get advanced training, provision of medical literature and manuals, and funding for nurses' instruction. Above left, Dr. Rakouth is teaching a class of nurses at the Manambaro Hospital in Madagascar. Some students are shown at right. We send you our warmest greetings and our prayer that the name of Jesus may continue to be lifted up by the witness in word and services you are providing.
