Overview of RICSM in Madagascar with Toby Jesosy Kristy Shalom (TJKS) Revival Center

Mantasoa

RICSM owns about one city block of land in Mantasoa. The land was donated to RICSM.
Mantasoa is about 40 miles east of the capital city, Antananarivo. (About a three hour bus ride from Antananarivo.)
This compound area is called a Toby (pronounced “too-be”). On the land owned by RICSM, there are six buildings and a small well.

• One church that holds up to 250 people when packed.
• One chapel that was the original church, but when the Toby outgrew the chapel, they built the church. The chapel is now used for small meetings and for housing for the custodian. Also, it is the store room for supplies.
• A two bedroom guest house that can sleep up to 20 people. It has a kitchen, a bathroom and two bedrooms.

• The newly opened Medical clinic has two full-time staff, a business manager, and a custodian.
• Dr. Mamy is a part-time doctor (2 or 3 days/week).
• The clinic is open five days per week and a nurse sees patients on the days when the doctor is not available. Each day is started with worship and prayer for healing.
• Also, there is a large community bathroom.

The 18 students in IKSM (Lay ministry shepherds) have classes in Mantasoa and in Antananarivo each Saturday mornings.

The church has services each Sunday, and has a Sunday School, a Youth Program and Healing services.

• Pastor Samuel is the head Shepherd and lives there with his wife.

• The seminary (IKS) is in Antananarivo. In 2024, there are 15 students studying to be ordained as pastors (two classes). Classes for the students are held from 9am to 3pm (or sometimes longer) Monday through Friday. Students also attend classes three Saturday mornings each month.

Eric and Elaine’s family has been restored and freed from the power of alcoholism and poverty in the name of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.
They are now at the Toby helping with the church cleaning and worship service.

Alcoholism and drug addiction is especially rampant in Madagascar and the region of Mantasoa. People come to the Toby for healing and to receive the salvation of Jesus, restoring health and family life. Eric has been used by the Lord to bring more addicts to the Toby.

The Spirit is Moving in Madagascar!

4. Continuing and consolidating the work and projects we have started in the areas of evangelism, church/Toby planting, leadership training, organization improvements and follow up for the new converts.
