"I was in prison, and you came to visit Me" (Matthew 25:36).

The mission of FOMM (Friends of Madagascar Mission) is not just humanitarian work—it is firmly grounded in the Word of God and the Holy Scriptures.

Our servants of God go into prisons not only to bring material help, but most importantly to share the Word of God that transforms lives and restores hope.The Bible is our foundation:It guides our mission ,It transforms the lives of prisoners,It brings new hope to those who feel lost

The photos shown here reflect real moments from the field:
reading the Bible, teaching, and serving with love and dedication.We believe that:

“The Word of God is living and powerful.” (Hebrews 4:12),We invite you to join us in prayer and support this mission, so that more lives may be reached and transformed.

CHILDREN IN PERIL --- In 2025 we have begun to support two new programs that support educational programs for children who are facing a difficult time because they live on the street (1 million street children in Madagscar) or because of physical issues. “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.” (Luke 18:16)

A. Hope School: This is a program bases out of a commitment to minister to children who are called “street children”. They may have parents but they all live on the street and have nothing. The children in this program receive a quality education and a good noon meal, which may be their only meal for the day. The school as a very high degree of students success to give them an advantage for a better life.

Gifts of support: $71.00 pr month supports the principal’s salary and $61.00 per month supports one teacher’s salary. Other gifts of any amount are needed for purchasing books for the library and computers and Internet connection for the computer lab.

B. Mampiray: This is a new program supported by FOMM. The name of the program means unity! It is a program that is working with the students in the public schools who are blind or have other vision problems. The teachers are not equipped on how to teach them. The program leads workshops to help the teachers and to provide better success for the visually impaired students. This program also works with children who have a parent in prison. The child needs help and guidance with a parent missing from their life and also suffering from the lack of household income to support the family.

Gifts of support: $10.00 for purchasing school materials per child and $50 for leading workshops to provide skills to teachers on how to work with these students.

“THANKS A MILLION!”

A Friends of Madagascar Mission program to raise funds for digging and repairing a thousand wells

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

1. When does the program begin?
It has started and will continue until we reach our goal. This program is not a sprint, but a
marathon. This means it may take a few years to achieve our goal, but we pray and know we
will reach this goal and invite you to help us to reach the goal!
2. Who can participate?
A. Individuals: young, old and all in-between
B. Families
C. Churches
D. Sunday Schools, youth groups
E. Civic organizations, and any other kind of group
3. How to participate?
A. Please go to www.MadagascarDevelopment.org and click on “Thanks a Million!”.
B. Donate (consider a minimum gift of $3.00 for 3 months and ask 3 others to do the same).
C. A family works together to make a three-month gift.
D. A congregation develops a program to collect funds for each 3 months.
E. A youth group, congregation, Sunday school could collect donations or:
(1) Hold a sale, like a rummage sale, cookie sale, pie sale, supper, etc.
(2) Conduct a “Water Walk”. Children in Madagascar are given the household duty of
going to the river to get water. Sometimes it might be a short distance. As the dry
season arrives, it might mean walking a half mile, a mile, or more to bring back a
small pail of water. So, have a walk where children must carry water a certain
length and then teach them about the children in Madagascar carrying water every
day. The water from the river will not be clean water. Diseases are common.
(3) Hold a “Noisy Water Offering” at worship once a month.
(4) The congregation sets an annual budgeted amount for this program.
(5) Host a “Thanks a Million!” fundraising party. Create and upload videos to post on
social media. Link the videos to www.MadagascarDevelopment.org and be sure to
include the QR code found on this page or the website.
Let your imagination go wild and offer members of a congregation the opportunity
to provide water for people who do not have a source of plentiful water.
