Historically there has been animosity between the highland Merina people and the coastal Sakalava. This is still evident. The Merina are often not welcome in traditional Sakalava areas. Christianity is considered a religion of the highland people and is largely rejected by Sakalava, many of whom have now become Muslim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">New TIMO team leader Rosina Ferdinand became a Christian as a child, through the ministry of UGBM (Union des Groupes Bibliques de Madagascar) in Morondava. Years later Rosina\u2019s mother, a medium inhabited by a \u201cSakalavaking\u2019s spirit\u201d, also came to know Christ as Lord and Saviour. This is an amazing testimony of the power of God and His ability to transform lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">Rosina obtained her Masters degree in linguistics and God called her into ministry with UGBM for the past 28 years.
