My name is Brent Hail. I live in Jacksonville, Texas with my wife, two dogs, three goats, and a donkey named Mabel. I have been working as a Firefighter for the city of Tyler for 25 years. I love my job. I attend Fellowship Bible Church here in Jacksonville and I am the missions coordinator for our church.

I got saved when I was ten, and my walk has had its ups and downs. as with any believer, there’s going to be the valleys and the mountaintops, and I spend quite a bit of time walking down in the valleys. I have always had a heart for missions. Currently our church ministers in Nicaragua teaching pastors there, Costa Rica where we minister to troubled youths and small children, and in Jos, Nigeria serving alongside a missionary that our church has been supporting for twenty years. It has been exciting to see how God works through our church as we bring a message of hope and salvation. it is also exciting to see how people who go gain a better idea of different cultures and how God works on the hearts of them that go.
