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.
