News: Bethlehem Spreading the Good News
in Madagascar

Last year Bethlehem was proud to provide more than $100,000 in support of local programs, services and ministries. But we decided not to ignore those seeking comfort and Christian guidance in other parts of the world. As a result, we donated $5,000 to a mission initiative on the island nation of Madagascar in Africa to help construct a church.  

We're pleased to share here the progress made during construction and their opening worship service on April 27, 2025, as they bring the good news to the people of Tamatave, Madagascar.

Welcome to the Church of Jesus Christ Zion Salvation!
  • Around the cross it reads: "HIS praise in the assembly of his faithful people" -- (Psalm 149:1b)
  • Behind the pulpit it reads: "The Lord Lives"

Whether the words are in English or Malagasy, the message is the same.
