Welcoming Enintsoa, our new Translation Coordinator

Enintsoa has just joined the Madagascar 3M team. We are delighted to have her with us. As you read through her bio, you will understand why.

” Since my childhood, I have always been perceived by others as an innocent, wise and obedient little girl. I knew I was not, without a single shadow of doubt. I excelled in my studies, attended Sunday school at FJKM Andraisoro Church, smiled and greeted people properly, as my parents taught me. Fascinated by knowledge and books, I used to read the Bible and Christian literature filling my head without changing my heart. But during my high school years, God through His word, progressively revealed to me the corruption of my heart and convicted me of my sinfulness. Indeed, He regenerated me and granted me faith in Jesus Christ.

The desire to improve livelihoods and society has long captivated my interest, and has been featured throughout my academic life. Confronted with the reality that Malagasy people rely heavily on wood energy, I was determined to study and find an alternative way of producing energy other than firewood and charcoal while studying Industrial Engineering in ESPA Vontovorona. After my graduation, I specialized in renewable energies at University of Reunion (Island) and in Development, as well as in Environment and Societies at Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium. Meanwhile, I also worked as a Teacher Researcher at the University of Antananarivo.

In 2020, the social distancing and staying at home concept of covid-19 prevented me from doing the fieldwork of my study and suspended my work as a teacher. Passionate about interior design, I exercised my passion for painting and crafting as I created Petite Casanière, which is a small business operating in the production of personalized terra-cotta vases, paintings and handmade decorations. My perspective is to meet the needs of the Malagasy community in terms of decoration with local skills and raw materials. When I resumed my teaching, I could no longer leave my decoration activity which gives me joy and creativity, so I manage to do both.

Captivated by theological books since I became a believer, my thirst to grow in my walk with God sparked in my heart a genuine interest in Puritan books, while opting for sound doctrines. It lately caused me to attend 3M events which provide valuable tools to face sin and its wearing out effect in this world.

Hence, the offered proposal to be a Translator Coordinator within this entity aligned with my skills and interests and I see it as a great and opportune fit for my desire to refine my knowledge and understanding of God as I serve Him. Not only does it urge me to grow as person and a Christian, but it will also contribute to the spread of the Gospel to people while crossing language boundaries.”

‘My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.’ (Psalm 73.26 / ESV)

We have benefited already from her talents as she skillfully and beautifully decorated the student lounge at the 3M Preaching Institute. We trust that she is a valuable addition to our ministry.
