Who we are Maranatha Ministries International (MMI) is a Christian non-profit, non- government organization based in Jamaica with partners in the United States, Canada and South Africa. Reverend Bobby McIntosh founded MMI in 1998 as an outreach ministry. MMI brings social transformation and is multi-dimensional and is geared toward the restoration of the “total man”, spiritually, mentally, and physically.

Our mission

MMI’s mission is for all nations to experience God’s transforming power in a real and tangible way. MMI embodies God’s Word:

Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father
which is in Heaven.

Matthew 5:16

What we do

Maranatha Ministries International seeks to transform lives and change destinies. Our International Teaching Ministry delivers life-changing messages to people from all walks of life through annual conferences, workshops, seminars, crusades and radio & television programs.

Our Outreach and Counseling Ministry provides help to disadvantaged groups such as the incarcerated, the homeless, abandoned children and youth, as well as drug and chemical addicts. Trained Christian
Volunteers carry out remedial
education, job placement,
training, housing and counseling programs that have greatly
impacted the lives
of our
beneficiaries.

Our vibrant youth programs is a major tool for youth empowerment through education and employment training. Our pre-school programs based in Jamaica provides basic education with Christian instruction to children up to age 5 years. We also offer remedial classes, homework centers, skills and entrepreneurial training for older youth. Sports and the arts (dance and drama) are essential tools to stimulate and maintain learning among our youth.

Committed to Social Transformation

Maranatha Ministries International is firmly committed to social transformation—the return of Godly values, morality, building strong family lives, and improving the human condition. Increasing poverty, rising crime and violence, declining moral values contribute to an overwhelming sense of helplessness in our society. By God’s grace, we aggressively pursue total restoration of the spiritual, emotional, social and physical being in those we are able to reach.

Our various ministries in Jamaica and throughout the world reconcile people to their Creator, as well as enables them to help others. While delivering the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ, we also meet the needs (i.e. food, shelter, training) and circumstances of those with whom we work.

MMI also works with persons often regarded as “
social outcasts”— the homeless, the incarcerated, drug and chemical addicts, and other vulnerable
