The Antefasy, whose name means “those who live in the sands,” live in the southeastern coastal region of Madagascar. They number 177,000. The primary religion practiced by the Antefasy is African traditional religion. Many Antefasy claim to be Christians but do not truly understand the gospel, nor have they claimed freedom from the ways of their ancestors. They are a people open to Scripture and surprised by the true teachings found within.
“The Lord does not delay His promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9 HCSB)
