Who are we ?
We are a Christian association that works to reach and transform the landlocked villages of Madagascar by sharing the gospel, through discipleship, health care, education and professional training.
Notre vision :
Our vision is to see all of Madagascar reached and transformed by the gospel. We work to see God reign in all aspects of the lives of Malagasy people, so that they are blessed and in turn can bless others.
En quoi nous croyons :
The foundation of our interdenominational association is Jesus Christ and his love. It is the center and heart of who we are and what we do.
We believe that all Christians in the world are part of the same body. The body of Christ. We intentionally work with all denominations and aim to unite the Church in fulfilling the Lord's Prayer
That all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You.
Short story:
We began preaching the gospel in a remote location in Madagascar in 2006. In 2007, the Lord placed us Helimission on the way and they greatly helped us reach places far from roads and transport infrastructure. Administratively speaking, the association was founded in 2009.
Since 2010 our activities have grown and we have added « Kingdom » to the name. We thus began to establish training centers and schools. We continued to work in the health sector. We are in the process of completing our first hospital.
In numbers:
- We now work with a team of 60 people
- 15 teachers
- 24 volunteers
- 30 workers
- We are established in 375 villages in Madagascar
- We have been able to train more than 10,000 leaders
Our major activities:
-
Preach the Gospel
We share the good news of Jesus Christ and plant churches in landlocked areas of Madagascar. We were able to plant 300 churches. We go on missions twice a month by helicopter, on foot, or by car
-
Discipleship
We would like the local population to be touched and transformed by the gospel, to be true disciples and in turn to be able to transform the lives of other people. We hold discipleship trainings every 4 months. We have been able to train more than 10,000 leaders.
-
Health
During the majority of our missions we are accompanied by medical personnel who treat people while we preach the gospel. These villages are often hundreds of kilometers from a doctor or hospital. Sometimes we also do medical evacuations with the help of Helimission. We are building our first hospital at our center in Ambohimalaza.
So far we have carried out more than 25,000 dental treatments and extractions, 150 surgical operations and 30 medical evacuations by helicopter..
-
Education
In all the places we went, we saw hundreds and thousands of children and young people out of school. Which naturally pushed us to work in this area. We built a school named “Paradisakely” in Vatomandry. We train and educate young people during our missions. Our long term goal will be to also plant a school in every place where we plant a church.
-
Uniting Christians
We believe that the kingdom of God is not divided. Thus we make it a point of honor to work with all Christians, associations and churches of all denominations during our evangelization missions in order to accomplish the will of God.
-
Building the Kingdom of God
We train locals in entrepreneurship and business so that they can in turn support the work of God. We would also like to intervene in the 7 spheres namely: family, church, education, government, media, celebration and economy.

The example of Paradisakely
Paradisakely is a place where we did community development, starting from scratch six years ago. Now we have a school up to 7th grade with 270 children, a church with 100 believers, 230 people living there, an orphanage with 47 youth and children, a fish breeding business and 32 people working there. On the other hand, we have a few bungalows to accommodate guests. The landscape is very impressive and peaceful for a retreat, rest and enjoy nature in the rainforest with different animals in the presence of God.
Our values:
-
Love
Love your neighbor as yourself. But to do that, you have to love God first.
-
Prayer
We cannot separate what we do from prayer. We try to instill this in our employees and everyone we train.
-
Serve
We act with a mindset of service. We are here to serve others.
-
Preach the Gospel
We highly value the value of every soul. We believe that only love can change people: the love of God.
-
The order
Which is one of the characteristics of God. We implement it in everything we do and we train others to have the same mindset.
-
The work
We believe that work is a blessing and we are a curse. Like God and with God, we are here to work. Being passive and just waiting for help is not the philosophy we would like to convey.
-
Purity
Which is the reflection of the Holiness of God. We value, teach inner and outer purity.
