A Note from Marty and Jenny Jacobus (Ja-co-bus)

Just a short note to introduce myself and let you know how excited my wife Jenny and I are to be on the Southern California FCA Team.  My background with FCA spans 13 years.  I was on the local FCA Board in West Tennessee, then became President of that board and was also on the Tennessee/Kentucky regional boards prior to joining the FCA Golf Ministry staff in July of 2003.  I was in various sales and management positions with a large printing firm for 23 years and coached and taught in high school for 7 years prior to that (for those of you doing the math that makes me 58).

Before coming to Southern California 4 years ago I was a field representative for FCA Golf.  My ministry duties have been quite varied and have included teaching Bible studies on several professional golf tours (Nationwide , NGA and LDA).  Most of my time was spent with the guys on the NGA or Hooter's Tour.  I usually get quite a laugh when I tell people I was the Hooter's Tour Champlain! 

Currently, I am a Multi Area Director here in Southern California with responsibility for Riverside, San Bernardino and Imperial County.  We have seen some amazing growth in the number of schools where we minister and in the number of kids coming each week to our Bible studies.  God is good and He is moving in Southern California!

Jenny and I have been married for 37 years, have 4 grown sons and 5 grandchildren. We live in Indio, California and have grown to love living in the desert.  I am truly blessed with a godly wife and wonderful family! 

Donnie Dee, FCA’s Executive Director,  and I met at the SoCal FCA Camp held at UC Santa Barbara, in 2005.  I was not even scheduled to be at the camp, but God had a plan.  It was a great week and I was impacted greatly by what I saw God do at that camp.  Donnie sent me an email in May of 2006 that said, "Is God doing anything in your life that would cause you to want to look at an opportunity in Southern California?"  I told him NO!  My wife being quite a bit smarter than I said we should: 1) Pray about it, 2) Read the Word, 3) Meditate on the Word, 4) Listen to what God was saying to us and 5) Obey..., so we made the decision to serve the Lord full-time as the Riverside County Director.

Thank you for visiting our website.  May our wonderful God bless you!  Please feel free to contact me for any additional information about FCA and all God's doing here in the counties I oversee and throughout Southern California.

Peace,

Marty Jacobus
