A vision born for forgotten villages
From planting a first church to a movement transforming dozens of Malagasy villages.
Our story
Jesus Family Kingdom was born from a simple call: to go to those no one else reaches. From Ambohimalaza, near Antananarivo, our team gradually expanded toward Madagascar’s most remote areas — by road, then on foot where the road ends. What began as evangelism visits became a complete work: churches planted, schools opened, the sick cared for, children taken in.
A word from our president
"God gave us a clear vision: to reach every isolated village in Madagascar with the love of Jesus Christ, and to see every Malagasy person become, in turn, a blessing to their nation. Every church planted, every child welcomed, every school opened is a concrete answer to that call. Thank you for walking with us."
Sedera Rakotoaritsifa
Founder and President of Jesus Family Kingdom
Our vision
To reach and serve the peoples of Madagascar’s most isolated villages, for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, so that every Malagasy person is blessed and in turn becomes a source of blessing. Reaching the unreached, serving the forgotten, raising a generation that will bless the nations (Acts 1:8).
Our 5 pillars of action, in detail
The Great Commission
Direct evangelism, discipleship through the Discovery Bible Study method, local church planting, and ongoing mentoring of leaders who take responsibility for them (Disciple Making Movement).
The Medical Mission
Medical tents set up in isolated areas during our major outreaches, dental care (extractions), acupuncture treatments, and emergency medical evacuations. 2026 project: opening the Balisama Family Clinic, a bush hospital.
The Education Mission — School Planting
Training committed missionary teachers and opening schools in isolated rural areas. Our pilot school, Paradisakely Private School, achieved a 100% pass rate on the 2024–2025 CEPE exam and is opening a 9th-grade class; 4 new satellite schools are planned, toward a goal of 10 in total.
Paradisakely Care Center and Orphanage
A refuge for vulnerable children: housing, food, education and full support. Around 50 new children are welcomed every year. 2026 project: building a new dormitory.
Kingdom Business
Fish farming, livestock, market gardening, bungalows and restaurant, renting a 150-seat training hall, solidarity tourism at Paradisakely Shalom Land — toward full financial self-reliance for the mission within 10 years.
Our two-level strategy
The bimonthly major outreaches
Roughly every eight weeks, a full team travels to an isolated area to combine medical mission (care, dental, acupuncture), evangelism and leadership training — a concentrated, powerful impact.
Monthly local evangelism
Between major outreaches, our resident missionaries continue, month after month, the work of proximity: supporting new believers, ongoing leader training, and following up with schools and families.
Paradisakely Shalom Land, our hub of transformation
Paradisakely Shalom Land is our pilot village: a living model of a society transformed by the Gospel, combining the orphanage, the school, farming activity and solidarity tourism. Its current capacity is 42 people, with a goal of 100 through the 2026 projects.
