Jean Safari is on a mission to share the truth with the world!

I had the pleasure of meeting Jean Safari in 2024 in Cape Town. I was instantly captivated by his warm demeanour, kindness and bright smile. He is passionate about sharing the truth and was interested in getting to the story behind the book. His expertise and engaging conversation truly impressed me, making for a delightful and enriching experience.  I then met up with him again at the Ministers’ Conference at KwaSizabantu in March 2025 and got to know him better. I had the privilege of interviewing him about his work and the impact of his YouTube channel, which is experiencing rapid growth. Below is his story, told in his own words.

“I have been in the ministry for a long time. It hasn’t been easy to navigate relationships with people and understand where to stand regarding different doctrines. Various churches have different beliefs, and as a new believer, you may have questions about which one is the truth. Everyone has the right to defend their beliefs. Still, we also have the responsibility to read the Bible and seek understanding of what God wants to communicate about any specific topic or doctrine.

“My primary motivation has never been money, power, or fame; instead, I simply seek to know the truth so I can share it with others. By God's grace, I have met many people who have helped me advance my ministry. I work with several churches, including Frontline Fellowship, Mountain View Baptist Church, Community Change, and Elohim Ministry, among others. I travel to different places to preach the good news of the Kingdom of God.

“I have a YouTube channel called Christ, the Light of the World. Our goal is to share diverse messages from individuals who believe in the Bible and preach to congregations worldwide. We also provide a platform for them to preach on our channel. If we feel a conviction that these individuals are servants of God, we gladly offer them this opportunity. I genuinely believe that having individuals who embrace the truth is vital for sharing accurate information about the Kingdom, particularly when the Holy Spirit guides them. These are the voices Christians should seek out for wisdom and inspiration. Recently, I created a video encouraging Christians to look beyond organisations like the African Union, European Union, or United Nations, as they are more secular.

Instead, let’s explore opportunities to support Christian organisations where we can exchange ideas and information within our community. Together, we can foster a vibrant network that uplifts and strengthens our faith!

The world is filled with fake news. The Bible says, “Let God be true, and every man a liar.” (Romans 3:4) When we consider the information that comes from the world or people, we cannot expect it to be trustworthy. The Bible also teaches that a bad tree cannot produce good fruit.”

Jean’s story is one of resilience, conviction, and unwavering faith. As the world becomes increasingly noisy and confused, Jean equips believers to discern truth, live by Scripture, and boldly share the Gospel. Jean is more than a content creator—he speaks truth in an age that desperately needs it.
