Reaching the Unreached

Developing a Strategy in Madagascar

September 2015

Sensing God’s invitation to engage with those who have not yet heard the good news of Christ, Warren Allan (President, Optivest Properties) and Matt Nash (Dynamic Church Planting International) spent a week investigating the remote part of southern Madagascar. Using relationships with local partners, a strategy will be developed to provide a holistic approach of meeting the spiritual, health and educational needs that exist.

The ethnic group in this region is defined in church planting language as an ‘unreached people group’ because it does not have an indigenous, self-propagating Christian church movement. Other contributing factors to this definition are the remote location, absence of national support, severe drought prone topography and little to no agricultural development.

The Optivest Foundation is excited to embark on and provide funds toward this multi year project and opportunity.
