Tanala of Madagascar: During our time in Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, taboos have had a significant impact on both daily life and ministry. Recently, we tried to help a woman receive medical treatment, but she was unable to attend even a simple appointment due to fear of breaking certain taboos. While some of these practices reflect cultural wisdom, many are shaped by a deep fear of consequences and a sense of spiritual bondage. Please pray for the Malagasy people—that the truth of the gospel would break through fear and bring true freedom in Christ. Pray Galatians 5:1 over them: “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” Ask that hearts would be set free, that many would come to know the love and authority of Jesus, and that they would walk in the liberty He alone can give.
