The story of Authentic started in early 2015. My wife and I had felt God calling us for many years to start a new church, but we just never knew when it was supposed to happen, or where. In the spring of 2015, God began to show us that the time was now to begin the process. After searching out many different places and praying hard for God to make it clear to us, God began to speak to us about Victoria. After we spoke with other leaders and friends in ministry, and shared the vision with family, it become clear that we were supposed to begin the work here. Since we arrived, God has been putting together an amazing team of people who have the same passion as we do. It’s been exciting to see how God continues to blow us away and open up opportunities that we could not have imagined, if He had not been in it! Even though we are only in the early stages of this church plant, God has provided so many things, including a building!

Jacob grew up in Magnolia, Texas, and Hailee grew up in Bristol, Tennessee. Through God’s plan, they met while attending Welch College. Jacob was a Business major with an Intercultural Studies minor. He had developed a heart for missions at a young age by watching his sisters attend ETEAM and also partaking in his own mission trips via ETEAM and CMP. Hailee was a Biology major with a plan to enter the medical field. Through her own mission trips via CMP and prayer, she felt called to international ministries. Jacob and Hailee were unsure of their role in God’s perfect plan but through His timing revealed the door He had waiting for them.
Jacob and Hailee have been approved for a two-year internship to serve and learn in Bulgaria.
