Jacob was born with a rare type of muscular dystrophy and was given only two years to live. He has been on a ventilator since 11 days old.

His family was told that Jacob would never go home, because he had to have life support to assist his breathing. After spending three months in intensive care, Jacob's parents finally got to take their baby boy home. He was the first baby ever sent home on a ventilator from St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa, OK. The doctors could see no hope for Jacob's future, but Jacob's family knew in their heart that God had a special plan for Jacob's life. They never gave up hope. Even though Jacob faces many challenges in his life, he is an inspiration to everyone he meets.

Jacob's soul desire is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to see souls saved for the kingdom of God. Today, Jacob is fulfilling God's plan for his life as he shares the love and hope of Jesus Christ. Jacob held his first revival in October 2004 just after his 16th birthday. In February 2005, Jacob received his license to preach through the Northeast Association of Free Will Baptist of Oklahoma.

In August of 2005, he was approved for ordination. Jacob received his charge and was ordained October 15, 2005, two days before his 17th birthday.
