The Madagascar for Christ campaign concluded with 566 baptisms following a four-day health fair and an eight-day evangelistic series across Antananarivo, Madagascar, and surrounding areas.
The campaign was led by Adventist World Radio (AWR) with the participation of the Indian Ocean Union Conference (IOUC), the Central Malagasy Conference (CMC), and Madagascar's Ministry of Public Health, in partnership with Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA).
The first phase of the campaign ran from August 25–28 at Barea Mahamasina Stadium, where a large health fair offered free consultations and services. Around 600 international and local volunteers, including doctors, nurses, health professionals, and translators, received and treated more than 9,000 patients during the event.
The second phase of the campaign moved into surrounding neighborhoods and communities. For eight days, evangelistic meetings were held at numerous sites under the theme "The Key to Biblical Prophecy." Each evening's presentations addressed prophecy, salvation, hope, and the second coming of Christ.
