Connie Jakab

Connie Jakab started as a children's pastor in East Vancouver working with vulnerable families. She then moved into the Children's Ministry director role for BC/Yukon with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. Her heart to be on the frontlines with young people led her into working in mental health and resilience in schools for the past 25 years. She now works and trains up Educators to be able to support the complex mental health needs young people are facing today.

Acts 2:43-47 ~ Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
