Jakob Wendesten

ABOUT

At the age of six, Jakob Wendesten got a deadly form of cancer. When his mother, Annika, found out she cried out to God for a word of comfort. When she opened her bible, her eyes fell on the 30th chapter in Jeremiah: "Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid"

Annika immediately began to ask God to heal her son, and so it was, Jakob got miraculously healed. Rumors about his miracle began to spread all over the hospital and no one could explain how.

 

At a very young age, Jakob felt called to ministry. Now he lives in Kentucky with his wife, Shana Wendesten, where they pastor New Beginnings Worship Center. As the eastern U.S. ambassador for Joshua Campaign (Ethiopia), he's also a missionary, traveling nationwide spreading the Good News of our Lord and Savior.
