Hello, Jacob here.

I come here now to inform you all that I am stepping down from Broken Flesh, effective immediately. It's not something that I had any intention on announcing or bringing attention too, but I feel like I owe it to our fans out of courtesy for your awesome support. This is an issue that I would appreciate if all who are concerned would simply respect the fact and not inquire as to the reasons behind it OR if I want to join another band. It has been my immense honor to serve in the same ministry that brought me into a relationship with Jesus, and I pray that it continues to do the same for many many more. I firmly believe in the core reasons of which this ministry exist, it is a just and worthy cause. And as Broken Flesh continues to strive for the advancement of the kingdom of our creator, I ask that you all continue to lift its members up with your prayers and support, as will I. Thank you all so much for everything good you have ever shown us while we have been on the road. Your generosity is something beautiful that leaves me speechless and I am eternally grateful for. Love you all so much! Jacob, signing off
