TEN YEARS OF YMR · 2017—2026
YMR GLOBALYoung Ministers Retreat equips young leaders to follow Jesus and serve with purpose. Convened by P. Daniel Olawande, this tenth-year retreat continues a decade of raising a burning generation.
A beginning, a vision, and a mandate to raise a generation for Jesus.
What started as a retreat focused on young ministers has grown into a broader movement committed to raising, building, and equipping believers to become Kingdom ambassadors in every sphere of human influence.
In a trance, I saw millions of young people coming out of fire, evading the cities. They were burning but they were not burnt.
I said, “Lord, what is this?” He said:
“I have anointed you to raise and lead the burning generation.”
This is my Mantle!
This is my Mandate!

Young Ministers Retreat (YMR) is an annual Christian retreat convened by Pastor Daniel Olawande, popularly known as P.Daniel. Founded in 2017, YMR was established to create an environment where young ministers could seek God, experience spiritual renewal, and receive preparation for their Kingdom assignments.
From the first retreat in 2017 to a global movement.
YMR helps young believers grow in faith and carry the message of Jesus into their churches, communities, and the Mountains of Influence.
We are grounded in Scripture and ablaze with the power of the Holy Ghost.
Through prayer, fasting, and tarrying, we cultivate discipline, purity, and supernatural boldness.
With a heart for evangelism, excellence, and revival, we pursue kingdom impact with passion and power.
Daniel Olawande, fondly called P. Daniel, is a revivalist with a mandate to raise a burning generation for God. He is an ordained minister in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
