Jacob’s Journey is a New Jersey non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. The mission of Jacob’s Journey is to equip young adults to navigate life challengers while learning to trust the Lord.
Our work is guided by the following core principles:
Our target audience is young adults, primarily ages 18-25ish, who are local to Salem County, New Jersey.
The inspiration for Jacob’s Journey is a young man who had a seemingly harmless addiction to food. He struggled with acceptance of himself and by others. You can read Jacob’s story HERE.
Through his passing, we are drawn to help others who have the same struggles. This young man loved the Lord and we are assured through God’s Word that he is with his Savior in heaven where we will join him someday.
