As most of you know, Andry Rajoelina proclaimed himself as leader of Madgascar on Saturday. He ordered all ministries, shops, schools etc to be closed on Monday.
President Ravalomanana responded by saying that there are 1500 (I can’t remember the correct number) mayors in Madagascar and all of them can’t be president. He said that he is still in power.
Monday came and went. And life went on as normal. Shops were open. Kids went to school and the government offices were all functioning as usual.
Later during the day Andry TGV made an application at the High Constitutional Court for the imposition of the president. He also announced that he will now be visiting the provinces to address his supporter and continue with the struggle for democracy.
This morning I received an sms. “Pray 4 me pls if u cn! I’v lost my job v shopping center were I worked was robed nd burnt.” And a few minutes later “I really don’t know wot to do at the moment” She later told me that she did not receive her salary for January because of the crisis. And she is not the only one.
I will encourage her to trust in the Lord and look to him for a solution. But as Theresa of Avila once said, Christ has no body now, but yours. No hands or feet on earth, but yours.
How are we as the body of Christ going to help our brothers and sisters in Madagascar?
