Our history

Daniel group history

In 2010, we started our Supernatural Lifestyle School, whilst I was still a pastor of a church in Pietermaritzburg. We also developed the Bible School which we used there called the School of Revival and Transformation. In 2015, the Lord called us back to Cape Town, where we felt Him lead us to start a ministry called Daniel Group, that would continue with the same passion  had developed the schools in Pietermaritzburg. 

In partnership with Every Nation Ministries, we have redeveloped the Bible School at UCT and have felt a call to develop our schools in a way that can serve the nations. ​

steve and jacqui's story

Steve Haines was born in Pietermaritzburg and became a Christian at the age of 7, when he had an encounter with the Lord at his home. At the age of 14, he was called into the ministry and at the age of 16 preached his first sermon at his high school chapel service. He studied Theology through the University of Stellenbosch and after graduating, went into ministry as a youth pastor in 2003, where he met Jacqui. 

Jacqui Haines was born in Cape Town and whilst growing up in a Christian home did not follow the Lord until she had radical turn around at the age of 21. Being someone who is quite black and white, she decided not to just give Jesus a try, but she completely followed him and was instantly delivered of smoking and alcoholism, and went on a mission trip within weeks of being born again. She signed up for the youth gap year where she met Steve. 

Together, they were the youth pastors in their church, Every Nation, in Cape Town. In 2006, they left Cape Town to be part of a church planting team to Steve's home town. They served there for 9 years as the associate pastors before the Lord brought them back to Cape Town.

But it was whilst they were in Pietermaritzburg that God revealed to them, their heart for revival, His Presence and the Supernatural. Their lives have never been the same, desiring to see people walking in the fullness of the Word and the Spirit. 

They have four amazing children, Bethany, Sarah, Zoe and Jaden and two dogs.
