Through God’s inspiration, Bishop Jacobs launched BAJI Ministries, which hosts The Ignite Conference annually since 2020. The Ignite conference is purposed to rekindling the fire within; targeting ministry, worship, marriage, and the marketplace, in hopes that it leaves its participants feeling
rejuvenated, inspired, and empowered to transcend into their God-given purpose.
Bishop Jacobs is married to the beautiful and anointed Lady Vivian Jacobs who, as the Executive Pastor of New Zion Temple, diligently serves alongside her husband and impels the vision. They are the proud parents of five children.
Bishop Jacobs believes his strong relationship with God sustains him and gives him the strength
to better serve his local church. As an itinerant Revivalist, Bishop Jacobs continues spreading the true,
unadulterated word of God.
