Jakob has a burning passion to see the lost come to Jesus and to see those bruised and bound by the enemy healed and set free! After being arrested on drug charges, and God miraculously raising him up from a drug overdose he's been on a mission to see God touch the lives of those who desperately need Jesus.​ Jakob and Leah are both graduates of Christ for the Nations. Jakob spent several years traveling and ministering alongside his mentor, the late revivalist and evangelist, Steve Hill. Today, they are on assignment to plant churches on the Island of Hawaii (The Big Island). They are pioneering a new work in Kailua-Kona. Jakob and Leah live in Kona with their two amazing children, Moriah and Gabriel.
