My name is Jacob, and I grew up as a missionary kid in Berlin, Germany. Later, my family and I went back onto the mission field in Albania, and it was there that I encountered the Lord for the first time. That experience changed the direction of my life and gave me a deep love for missions and a burden to see others encounter Jesus. Because I personally experienced the impact of someone saying “yes” to going, I now feel called to help others say yes to God’s call as well.

I will be serving full-time with YWAM at a new training base in Montana. While Montana will be our primary training location, the ministry itself will reach far beyond the United States as we work to send people to the nations. My role will be focused on raising up, training, and sending the next generation of missionaries to the ends of the earth. We will equip people to share the Gospel, make disciples, plant churches, and bring the hope of Jesus to communities around the world.

I believe one of the greatest needs in missions is not simply more people who are willing to go, but people who are willing to be equipped and sent well. My desire is to invest in people, help them grow in their relationship with Jesus, and prepare them to confidently take the Gospel wherever God calls them. Ultimately, my ministry is about seeing lives transformed by Jesus and seeing those people become disciples who make disciples.

I cannot do this alone, which is why I am inviting people to join me as prayer and financial partners. Prayer is foundational to everything we do, and I am asking people to stand with me in prayer for the missionaries we will train, the people we will reach, and the places God will send us. Because YWAM missionaries raise their own financial support, I am also building a team of monthly financial partners who will help make it possible for me to serve full-time in this ministry. One-time gifts are also greatly appreciated, but consistent monthly support will provide the foundation that allows me to commit fully to this calling.

I would love for you to prayerfully consider becoming part of my support team. Whether you partner with me through prayer, monthly financial giving, a one-time gift, or simply sharing this mission with others, you are helping send the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who chooses to stand with me, and I’m excited to see how God uses all of us together to raise up and send the next generation of missionaries.

Jacob
