About Ministerio Internacional El Rey Jesus
Ministerio Internacional El Rey Jesus, known in English as King Jesus International Ministry, is a non-denominational church in Miami, Florida. Guillermo Maldonado, a Honduran-born preacher, founded it in June 1996 with 12 members meeting in his living room. The church grew into the largest Hispanic congregation in the United States, drawing 15,000 to 20,000 people per week and anchoring a global network of more than 400 affiliated churches. Maldonado is known for supernatural ministry teaching and a heavy broadcast footprint across the Americas.
El Rey Jesus reaches 897,317 followers across three platforms. Facebook is the largest at 475,000 followers. Instagram contributes 265,317 followers split across two brand accounts: elreyjesusmiami at 180,973 and the English-language kingjesusmiami at 84,344. YouTube holds 157,000 subscribers on @elreyjesusmiami, up 109.61 percent in the past year, with content published as recently as June 3, 2026. The church does not maintain a TikTok presence.
The two-account Instagram structure is the tell here. El Rey Jesus runs a genuinely bilingual digital operation, with separate Spanish and English front doors, and that is rare even among large Hispanic churches. The velocity score of 76.3 is driven by YouTube more than doubling in twelve months, which suggests the church's video strategy found a new gear well into its third decade. Reach sits at 55.7 and breadth at 82.5, with TikTok the obvious open lane. A church with this much Spanish-language Facebook equity and a doubling YouTube channel has room to climb, and the bilingual account architecture gives it two audiences to grow at once.
