About Us

Our story, our heart, and the people who make this mission possible

How We Began

JUBILEE APOSTOLIC HARVEST MINISTRIES is rooted in a calling placed on the heart of Brother Daniel to reach the unreached. What began as a burden for the families living in the jungles of Eastern Cameroon became a movement of evangelism, church planting, and humanitarian service that now spans multiple regions.

From our headquarters church in Yaoundé, we send teams into the most remote areas of Cameroon — villages accessible only by foot through dense forest trails. In these communities, people have lived for generations without hearing the name of Jesus, without clean water, without schools, and without medical care. We go to them.

Our approach has always been simple: go where the need is greatest, love people where they are, and trust God with the results. Through schools of evangelism, weekly outreach in Yaoundé neighborhoods, the Apostolic Bible College, children's music programs, and back-to-school scholarships, we walk alongside the people we serve — meeting both spiritual and physical needs.

Our Values

Love First: We believe that love is the foundation of all effective ministry. Before we share the Gospel, we seek to understand, to listen, and to love.

Relationship Over Programs: We invest in people, not projects. Our goal is to build lasting relationships that continue long after our teams return home.

Local Partnership: We work alongside local leaders, translators, and community members. We don't come as outsiders bringing solutions, but as partners walking together in faith.

Prayer as Foundation: Every decision, every mission, every relationship is covered in prayer. We believe that prayer is not preparation for the work—it is the work.
