New church building for the Ampilaolava community in Toamasina, Madagascar

Cyclone Gezani devastated our church in February 2026, leaving significant damage to the building that serves as a place of worship and gathering for our community. In fact, the Lutheran church of Ampilaolava was originally made of bamboo/wooden walls and a tin roof making it completely vulnerable to natural disasters. So unfortunately, the church was completely destroyed when category-4 tropical cylcone Gezani hit the district of Toamasina. 

Now, we are working to rebuild but we need your support. The fundraising target is around 3,000 Euros. Every euro donated will go directly toward construction materials and rebuilding costs. The goal is to construct a durable building made of concrete and sturdy materials to be able to withstand any eventual natural disasters in the future; but more importantly, we want our church to be able to properly host its own events, worship, fellowship and services. The goal is to complete construction before Christmas so our kids can fully enjoy their yearly traditional Christmas Eve sketch and worship service. 

Please donate if you can and help us spread the word by sharing this message.

May God bless all who are able to support this effort through donations, prayers, and by sharing this appeal to others. Thank you for your generosity.
