About JubileeOur History
I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but
God has been making it grow.
1 Cor. 3:6
Even as our founders, David and Emily Romero themselves were teenagers,
God was already preparing the soil and planting in them the desire to serve
His people through community outreach, Christian education, and evangelism.
The bulbs were planted, but it would take years of patiently waiting before any
growth would appear above the surface. Behind the scenes,

The bulbs were planted, but it would take years of patiently waiting before any
