(Extended Biography of the Author)

Daniel was born in Paris in 1969 to Burundian parents (studying France) with Ugandan and Rwandan ancestry,.

Raised in a Pentecostal lineage, he grew up immersed in the faith of his grandfathers, pioneers of the Pentecostal Church in the Great-Lakes countries of Africa. At twelve, in 1981, he was born again in Christ, stepping into a fourth-generation ministry legacy.

Before entering full-time ministry, he served as a Senior Officer in the Navy, being graduated from the Greek Naval Academy (B.A. Class 1995), with Advanced Naval War Tactics & Operations, War School of Salamis, Greece, 1996.

His military career included extensive travel across Europe and the United States, exposing him to diverse cultures. Yet amid regional ethnic conflict in the East Africa, he faced political persecution that forced him to flee his homeland in 2000.

However, as he would later come to understand, these persecutions were not merely political—they were deeply spiritual. Through revelation from Elohim, he discovered that certain family members had long been entangled in witchcraft and assigned by satanic powers to resist divine destinies within his lineage. These unseen forces stirred relentless battles in every area of his life, bringing seasons of profound affliction and testing.

In the years that followed, he endured profound trials—assassination attempts, imprisonment, loss of possessions, and the tragic death of his first wife—while separated from his children. Throughout, he was sustained by Elohim’s grace, viewing opposition as spiritual warfare in line with Ephesians 6:12; Proverbs 24:16–18; and Psalm 37:24. These experiences deepened his dependence on Scripture, prayer, and fasting as the core strategies for spiritual victory.

During a season of prayer and fasting on the WTM Prayer Mountain in Uganda (2002–2003), Elohim called him to write a book inspired by the prophet Haggai, focusing on rebuilding Elohim’s temple. At that time, he served at Kampala Pentecostal Church under Senior Pastor Gary Skinner, receiving foundational ministry training. In 2003, he pursued theological studies in Nairobi, Kenya, where he was ordained as Minister of Gospel (Reverend), later furthering training at the International School of Ministry (ISM), in Johannesburg (2011).

Apostle Daniel is not a public or televangelist figure but one of those quiet, underground missionaries who carry the Gospel into remote and isolated places with signs and wonders of deliverance and healing. He has preached in regions too dangerous for open evangelism— sometimes facing hostilities—and has shared the Gospel in the Islamic lands, where public Christian witness carries significant risk.

In 2013–2014, during Zambia’s Jubilee preparations, Apostle Daniel was invited to speak on national television by Bishop Billy Mfula, Founder of Jesus Anointed Ministries (JAM). Bishop Mfula’s zeal for Elohim’s Kingdom and his affirmation of Zambia as a Christian nation stirred a prophetic burden in Apostle Daniel, reshaping the vision for Rebuild My House. There he taught on the Zambian’s biblical Jubilee (1965–2015) and sensed a divine conviction that Zambia would embody the Haggai’s prophetic call—later forming the chapter 15 (Volume V), “The Little Cloud of Zambia”.

Throughout his life and work, he has sought no personal recognition, dedicating all glory to Elohim and laboring to awaken the Church to its divine calling in Messiah. Rebuild My House stands as the distilled fruit of these years of underground mission—revelations forged through hidden service, prophetic encounters, and the Spirit’s guidance in some of the world’s most challenging fields.
