Founded by U.S. Army veteran Rob Cogle, Jesus Is My General is a movement predicated upon the idea that we are all in service for the Lord. Using the ideals of brotherhood and service instilled in him during his time in the military, Rob has taken the message of love, hope and belonging to spread the Gospel to all people.

The Jesus Is My General movement is here to help veterans, active service members and their families, as well as civilians find a place of belonging in the army of the Lord.
