About Daniel al-Yamini?

Daniel al-Yamini is a writer, storyteller, and witness to the work of God in Yemen. Having lived and served in the Middle East since 2003, he has dedicated his life to walking alongside local faith communities, learning their stories, and sharing the hope of Christ in one of the world’s most challenging contexts.

Writing under a pseudonym for security reasons, Daniel seeks to amplify the voices of Yemeni believers—past and present—whose faith has endured across centuries of hardship. In the book, An Aroma of Life: Generations of Yemenis Following Jesus, he weaves together history, testimonies, and theological reflection to reveal the resilience of Christianity in Yemen and its global significance.

Through his work, Daniel invites readers to discover a richer picture of the global church: diverse, rooted in local cultures, and united by the life-giving message of Jesus Christ.
