In October 2017, Madagascar 3M was officially registered as a company immediately set things in motion to organize the first-ever conference for church leaders focusing on Expository Preaching. Then, the day came on October 10th and we are so thankful that God in His goodness allowed such a gathering to happen.
Our name stands for what we believe the minister of God should be: a preacher of God’s Word, a shepherd of God’s people and a servant of Christ. Our vision from the start has been to work with existing structures and contribute to the identifying, training and equipping of people for the work of the ministry. Nothing embodied more that vision and desire than this conference.
To see the 200+ people from different church denominations, from the city and the countryside, pastors and laymen, young and old, really filled my heart with gratitude.
For 4 days, the preeminence of God’s Word was asserted. We affirmed its inerrancy, its authority and its sufficiency. We looked at the responsibility of the preacher to preach the Word, as per the theme verse of this conference in 2 Tim 4:2. We delved into how he must do it and why He must do it. We examined what makes preaching a unique encounter with God.
I would like here to greet and thank the speakers and dear brothers who came to serve us for that week. We are from different countries, from different backgrounds, but we all share a passion for the exposition of the Word of God. They have been examples to me in following Christ, and their messages were all very encouraging and challenging.
My prayer is that the conference was for those who attended it a blessing and a time of nourishment to their soul. I pray that it shaped convictions in their heart as to why and how the Word must be preached. I pray that relationships were built with like-minded brothers and sisters and that this would be the launch of a movement here in Madagascar promoting faithful exposition of the Word and a faithful representation of that Word by those who preach it.
We at Madagascar 3M want to continue to serve and equip the church to do the work the Lord has called them to do. We want to be instruments to spread the glorious gospel of Christ in our land.
Isaiah 42:10 says:
“Sing to the LORD a new song,
Sing His praise from the end of the earth!
You who go down to the sea, and all that is in it.
You islands, and those who dwell on them.”
May the Lord’s name be sung unto the utmost parts of Madagascar.
We are already planning and inviting you to attend the second International Summit for Expository Preaching which will take place on October 9th to 12th 2019, Lord willing.
