English was declared a national language of Madagascar in 2007. However the majority of the Malagasy people don’t speak or understand English despite the great desire and need.CEFOI, a Seminary that WorldVenture has worked with in the past, desires an English teacher for their students, as well as their professors and staff members. English is vital as Madagascar lacks quality study books and other resources in the Malagasy language. CEFOI stands for Centre Evangelique De Formation De L’Ocean Indien. It is a bible school built in 1991 in order to respond to many young Christians’ desire to receive evangelical and theological training in Madagascar.
The school is under the umbrella of CEIM (Communaute Evangelique Independante de Madagascar). The main purpose is to train people to become mature leaders who will in turn train others in their own Christian churches/associations. To date, 300 students have graduated from CEFOI Seminary and most are now pastors or leaders in Christian organizations throughout the island.
