Zambezi River Victoria Falls • Zambia, Africa

Looking into going to Zambia later this year.  I have been going through the old photographs from when I was a mission kid growing up there.  Here is one of Victoria Falls.
Mosi-oa-Tunya • The smoke that thunders
One place everyone should get a chance to see and experience the mist that drenches you.

Pray for Zambia and that the Lord will bring about great renewal.

Zambia 2013 Outreach • Mission Trip



Please pray as I pray about returning to Zambia after 28 years. I will be traveling with Dr. Joan Hust or as I call her: Mom.


Many changes of course have taken place in the short time we have been away. We would like to minister to all we come into contact with especially the leadership of the Church’s and ministries that were in Joan's ministry, from Club House, Bible College, radio to the ministry trips she planned and used as tools to minister to many people during her time there.

Zambia, like all of that part of the world is extremely beautiful, and has many people with a heart for God serving HIM. Being able to come and show that there are those around the world who care and encouraging them can be a great blessing for not only them but yourself as well. Their way of life and their testimony can change your heart and your testimony can help them.

Zambia is predominantly Christian that includes the Seventh-day Adventist, The Church of Latter-day Saints and Jehovah's Witness. Pray that God's Word can touch every heart and that all may see Him in the light and strive to serve Him in everything. Pray that the walls that separate them from Jesus will be broken down and that His love will flow like the oceans across the land. Pray that those who have given their life to Jesus will be strengthened to overcome all the hardships and temptations that come their way. Pray that God will bless Zambia and its people.


Please pray for the support I need to make this trip.

I plan to do video work so everyone can hear what is going on in Zambia and that the testimony of those living and working in Zambia can touch those around the world with God's love.

If you think ministering to those outside of your city and country is not right then you are not called overseas but to minister to those next door and around your town. So get out there and show God's love no matter where you are. Let people around you see God's love at work in your life and don't forget to invite your neighbors over for dinner every few months so that they can see HIM in you.
If you don't think you are called to minister to your neighbor then I am sorry to say you must be rejecting His call to go. Don't let fear stop you from greeting someone or stop you from showing God's love.



He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” Mark 16:15-18

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
If you have a heart from God to minister to those in Zambia and would like to be a part of this outreach please contact Jacob for further information.

Use God's Love in your ministry and life



As we look to God’s Word, we see that the love we are to have is not something He recommends or suggests for us to have or give. The love He has for us to give is a love we have been commanded to do. If we are commanded, then we can see that this pure love we are to love with and show must be an action that we MUST do. It is something we can learn to do. It is a change in our life, in our way of thinking, one that
will affect our total being, our fundamental nature of our entire life, how we act, speak, and respond to situations around us. God has given us a COMMAND, an instruction that MUST be obeyed, a mandate. If the love God COMMANDED us to have was an emotional love as the world really sees the definition, then we would never be able to do as commanded, as we would not be able to love at all times as instructed, but only as we felt like.
Without pure love, love as defined by God's Word, we can have no relationship with God. Without His pure love in its fullest meaning, we are going to find ourselves lost in this world of sin.

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these." MARK 12:30-31

A book by me • Road to Heaven


I wrote Road to Heaven during one of the roughest times in my life in an attempt to see if I was wrong about what I consider basic Christian principles.

I find that Christians seem to pick and choose what we call basics of our Christian life. We forget that we are to follow all the ways God has given us. God gave us HIS Son Jesus who should be our example on how we live and act. So in a small attempt to cover the overall basics of what I feel a Christian should be trying to live like I came up with the principles that the Bible has given us in this book.

It is far from a complete guide. This is more of a pointer to get everyone reading scripture and doing what we are taught by God.

My prayer is that after reading this book your heart will have a new desire to serve God and live in every way we are given to live by our Lord and Savior

Honda 50 • Zambia adventures • growing up


When I was five years old I wound up having major surgery on my leg. When I left the hospital my mom had a Honda 50, the one with the folding handlebars, waiting for me. At that point in my life I did not know how to ride a bicycle.

Shortly after this my parents moved to Africa where they brought the Honda 50 with them in their suitcase.
It wasn't until I was six or seven years old that my brother showed me how to ride the motorbike. What fun that was to be able to ride through the bush going places that as a kid you would have never gone by yourself.

I wound up driving through a rebel army camp and back. I think my parents had a heart attack or two.

The Lord sure protected me as a kid.


A few years later I was going to a place called Jack's Rock where boulders the size of a block of houses formed caves and crevasses. My friends, Zambians and Neal Greyling use  to run around playing  despite a cave that was there being housed by a bunch of bandits who use to invite us in to eat and laugh at our stories.


So thank God for His ever watchful eye on us as we go about our lives. HE is faithful.
