We are keeping rather busy as our plans and vision for our work in Madagascar continues to take shape and pick up speed. Last autumn we shared about our vision with friends and family in Portland, OR (where Jonathan grew up). We have connected with Valley View Evangelical church and are excited about partnership plans with them. Over the Christmas holiday and through January we have been working on developing this website. We've realized that web design is a ton of work for two web design rookies!
Right now we are in our "partner development" phase. This is a challenging and rewarding job. We have enjoyed seeing others come alongside our vision for work in Madagascar, supporting us in a variety of ways. Our financial base is beginning to grow as we connect with people and churches. We are striving to connect with experts in our fields as we continue to brain storm and pull details together.
Well that's the Mad News for now. We will update again in a few weeks. In the meantime we are awaiting the arrival of our first child... due this week!
