Pastoral visitors needed!
Our Pastoral Care Team could use your help for a few hours each week. We have a number of parishioners who are housebound, some temporarily shut-in, some who are lonely and some unwell. An occasional visit or even just a phone call from someone who cares can be a great blessing. We would gladly provide some training and support if you feel you could help out. Please contact David Swift through the church office.

SOLOMON ISLANDS … I had forgotten how tiny that international airport was! As I exited the plane the extreme heat and humidity enveloped me. I really don’t know how I lived for seven years in that almost unbearable heat! However the excitement of being in the Solomons again was wonderful. It was amazing to meet many ex-Selwyn students whom I had taught while there and discover how their lives had developed. Several have become priests. A Selwyn teacher who married a student are now both professors at the University of the South Pacific in the Solomons. Several have excellent employment positions in various businesses. It was good to see how the Sisterhoods and Brotherhoods had grown. And, oh, the beauty of the seasides, the gorgeous Pacific sunsets, parrots and cockatoos, and the tall stately palm trees!
Thank you again! Thank you for your trust in me personally and your prayerful and financial investment in the children of Madagascar. May god bless you and keep you!
Lovingly in Jesus

LIVA (legally blind) has finished his agricultural / animal husbandry course and has now
gone to live with his sister and husband who will help him seek a job. We have given Liva as much training as is available for such a handicap in Madagascar. He goes with our love and we wish him well.

The month of May 2010 marked my 25th anniversary (see collage) of being part of the Global Teams / AMSC family. So, as I write this letter, you and I are three months into our 26th year of serving God and His precious people overseas!
THANK YOU for your partnership!
Many of you have been partnering with me since the very beginning when I was living and teaching in the Solomon Islands, South Pacific. During those years I was teaching a variety of subjects at Selwyn College and the “Sisters of the Church.” Later I moved to the “Sisters of Melanesia,” mainly teaching the Novices.
Seven years later, many of you joined our exciting team when I transferred to Madagascar; where I still serve at our orphanage and inner city outreach centre.

On Feb. 2, 2010, I flew to Madagascar and it was wonderful to be there again with our Malagasy children and friends. Later I was privileged to fly onward, via Brisbane, Australia, to the Solomon Islands for two weeks. What a joy to be there!
GOD and YOU ... His people have been so very faithful. I praise HIM and thank YOU for your love and friendship, your many prayers, and your generosity in supportive gifts, whether during many years or quite recently. It is absolutely amazing the number of people in both Madagascar and the Solomon Islands who, with emotion and enthusiasm asked me to express to you their thankfulness and appreciation for the new life, health, love and education you have given them. I have assured them of our continuing support.

LALAINA has been at Akany Famonjena since the orphanage began in 1996 (see left photo)
Last November, Lalaina was diagnosed with tuberculosis and was extremely ill for quite a long time. He has been on medication for eight months and I believe that is completed now. At the Baccalaureate school level, it was very difficult for him to have missed two months of school. When I was in Madagascar, he had returned to school and I secured a tutor to help him catch up with his studies. He is now feeling strong again and the doctor is allowing him to play limited sports which he loves. Lalaina is a fine young man and he thanks all who have prayed for his healing.
EDDY and his younger brother have been part of the Akany Famonjena family since 1996. Eddy is now in his 4th year University in Antananarivo, the capital city. His brother, Gandi, is finishing his first year University. Both boys are very good academic students. As well both have marvelous musical gifts. Eddy plays the keyboard, composes his own songs and creates his own arrangements. He is also the director of our church youth choir. I love when he is the “organist of the day” as his music is very alive and he plays with creativity and confidence. Eddy and Gandi together accompany the Youth Choir in the Church’s afternoon Easter concert below.

As I write this letter the Akany Tafita children and several adults have gone by bus on an excursion to see what a little of Madagascar is like ... away from their poor district in which they live. What fun! A church is hosting them and they will all even see the sea for the first time!
THE AKANY TAFITA CHILDREN and I were so excited when, on the Friday afternoon before I left Madagascar, we had an amazing Church service in our centre’s “Grande Salle” and 12 of our Akany Tafita children were baptized. The Grand Salle was full with children, Board members, teachers and the families of the baptismal candidates. In traditional Malagasy style, the children gently danced their way into the room and presented themselves before our chaplain priest. What a joy! Then the church was transformed into a wonderful reception room and we all shared a feast meal together.
