Mantasoa

RICSM owns about one city block of land in Mantasoa. The land was donated to RICSM.
Mantasoa is about 40 miles east of the capital city, Antananarivo. (About a three hour bus ride from Antananarivo.)
This compound area is called a Toby (pronounced “too-be”). On the land owned by RICSM, there are six buildings and a small well.

• One church that holds up to 250 people when packed.
• One chapel that was the original church, but when the Toby outgrew the chapel, they built the church. The chapel is now used for small meetings and for housing for the custodian. Also, it is the store room for supplies.
• A two bedroom guest house that can sleep up to 20 people. It has a kitchen, a bathroom and two bedrooms.

• The newly opened Medical clinic has two full-time staff, a business manager, and a custodian.
• Dr. Mamy is a part-time doctor (2 or 3 days/week).
• The clinic is open five days per week and a nurse sees patients on the days when the doctor is not available. Each day is started with worship and prayer for healing.
• Also, there is a large community bathroom.

The 18 students in IKSM (Lay ministry shepherds) have classes in Mantasoa and in Antananarivo each Saturday mornings.

The church has services each Sunday, and has a Sunday School, a Youth Program and Healing services.
