El Shaddai International Ministries was birthed in the heart and mind of the founding pastor and came into existence through the careful crafting of the Holy Spirit. El Shaddai has become a spiritual springboard for babes in Christ and a place to cultivate the gifts of Christians of all ages. The ministry has given to many a journey to begin, a vision to aspire to, and a goal to attain in their lives.
Through the leadership of the late founder, Pastor Marvin Joe Jackson, the ministry has provided enlightenment for God's people to comprehend those goals and visions - and to ultimately reach their destination in the journey to have a closer relationship with El Shaddai - God Almighty.
Now the mantle has passed to Shepherdess Patricia Ann Jackson. The ministry continues to grow under her guidance and care. It is with the same tenacity, encouraging spirit and focused teaching that El Shaddai moves forward in the path laid by Pastor Marvin. God Almighty shall prevail as the ministry stays true to its mission and concern, ensuring that every person has an opportunity to receive salvation and that our communities are impacted in a positive way.
