Thirty years in Madagascar

An experienced missionary offers a first-hand narrative and historical overview of decades of engagement in Madagascar, blending personal memoir, mission history, and eyewitness accounts of persecution, martyrdom, and conversion. The author documents the spread and consolidation of Christian institutions—churches, schools, Bible revision—and describes district journeys, local customs, and missionary challenges, mixing sombre episodes with lighter anecdotes. Chapters trace the island's passage from entrenched traditional practices through gradual Christianization to political upheaval culminating in the end of the monarchy and the wider establishment of mission infrastructure. The account is illustrated with photographs, sketches, and maps that accompany factual and reflective commentary.
