Psalm 9:18, 
For the needy will not always be forgotten.

          Sometimes God reaches down and touches the heart of a person, and if that person is willing, God uses that servant to complete His will, which 100% of the time contains a wondrous and joyful little miracle, not a supernatural type miracle, but the miracle of the love of God passed from one heart to another.  I feel so privileged to witness it.

          We have friends, a brother and sister in Christ, whom we have known for years.  They helped to get the Rosie family onto the field more than eighteen years ago.  We have felt their presence and support in this work for all those years.  They have already done so much to help His Word be spread among the people of both Kenya and Madagascar.  BUT!  God has touched their hearts in a new and altogether different way, and they continue to be used by Him.  They won’t let me tell you who they are.  Once again, they want God to get all the glory and we give Him all the glory for touching the hearts of these two servants.
          We received a letter from those servants of God this month.  God has helped them to see that a little bit of the extreme comfort that Americans feel daily can be passed on to Madagascar in the form of supplying a basic need to a people who have very little comfort.  Together, we went to the Father and asked His guidance, and He has used us all to provide Milk for Malagasy Children. 
          Malagasy children are starved for calcium.  This missionary observes that the average Malagasy diet consists of about 70% rice, 25% fruits and vegetables, and 5% meat.  A poor Malagasy eats about 90% rice, 9% veggies and fruit, and 1% meat (and meat fat at that).  Rich or poor, very few Malagasy get any form of milk or calcium at all, and it shows in excessively weak bones, rotten teeth, very little get up and go, and in reddish frizzled hair among a people who should have glossy black hair.
          Madagascar has very little milk and it is expensive.  Even our own children do not get milk everyday and sometimes not even once a week.  You can maybe imagine how much more difficult it is for Malagasy to provide their children with milk.  That’s why we are helping with Milk for Malagasy Children.  God’s willing servant in the States sends his donation here.  We are able to by ultra-heat treated milk here that does not need to be refrigerated and that is packed in individual serving boxes.  They call it school milk here but it is only passed out in the schools twice a year courtesy of Madagascar’s president who owns the milk company and donates the milk.  We are trying to make sure that some children in Madagascar will get it more than twice a year.  For some children here on the streets it may be the only nourishment they get in the whole day.  We’ve already distributed more than 100 servings of Milk for Malagasy Children.
          Our plan is to distribute most of the milk at times when we are able to teach those children something about the Savior.  You’ll be hearing more about it from us in the future.  For now you can pray and thank the Father with us that two very willing servants have been moved to touch Malagasy children both physically and spiritually.

• Pray for the continued outreach of the church in Madagascar.
• Pray for continued healing for Barry’s back.
• Pray for Kit, and his acceptance into Rift Valley Academy.  Pray that he can settle in well.
• Pray that we can meet the school fees and travel expenses for Kit and (possibly) Havilah.  They will need to travel back and forth to Kenya three times each school year.
• Pray for the Milk for Malagasy Children program that has just started recently.  Pray that the Malagasy children can be helped through this program, both physically and spiritually.
• Pray that the leadership of the Malagasy churches can continue to grow and lead the churches.
