Give thanks God for the linguistic diversity He has created in Madagascar. Pray for the ongoing need for increased translation, teaching, preaching, and ministry of the Word in ways people can understand and practice across the diverse cultures and languages. Only one of Madagascar’s 12-18 dialects has a complete, published Bible translation. Thank God for the International Mission Board and Great Commission Christian organizations that are working toward more Scripture resources for Madagascar’s languages and dialects. Pray for all of these efforts to create greater access to God’s Word for Madagascar’s peoples as well as more believers who are equipped to “rightly [handle] the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15 ESV). Thank God for the many pastors, teachers, professors, presidents, directors, and missionaries who are serving the Malagasy church by teaching God’s Word through theological education. Pray for more Malagasy believers to have access to theological education. Thank God for StoryTogether, a two-year project focused on dialects of southwestern Madagascar that will be starting next month, Lord willing. Pray for faithfulness–to God’s Word, in their lives, and to share the gospel–for everyone involved in the project: local pastors and believers, visitors, and missionaries.
