About El Shaddai

Our Mission

We will first be led by the power of the Holy Spirit. In that, we will contend for the faith and endeavor to have all the gifts of the Spirit present in the ministry. The approach will be that of a holistic style of ministry. We believe the Word of God to be true and indisputable. This ministry will have service as its primary goal. Through and by these services we provide, we hope to make an indelible mark in our local and world community. The ministry will be open to all people wanting a spiritual, mental and physical metamorphosis in their lives. The main concern will be that every person receive salvation and to impact our community in a positive way.

God's Church

"And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." - Acts 2:46-47 KJV

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.
