We want to thank ALL of you who has been a part of this event, financially, spiritually, and supporting with love.<br /><br />Things are in place this week with Oprah Winfrey for the life-changing opportunity where extreme communities that would not be exposed to one another are now out of the closet and into the light with one another’s ambition to see Jordan off. I testify and witness that this is the way that Jordan lives his life with all people. As for myself, my heart is without words because of witnessing such passion that a community supporting and celebrating a life transformed by healing of someone that is loved as much as my family and I do love Jordan Jantz and his mission upon this earth. This event is forming a wave for Jordan to return home, to share the wisdom and knowledge of being out of the closet and into the light with Oprah Winfrey.<br /><br />I will testify of what I have witnessed in Jordan’s life and his interactions with every community and his flexible ability to be spiritually intimate. Each soul is unique and needs inclusion and support. Jordan adds thrust and methodology to his message. Many ask what type of support keeps a person moving toward the savior, and how does one manage same-gender attraction? Since we in Portland have witnessed that there is nobody here that has come out and wants to live the standards of the church along with Jordan, as his friend I have chosen to walk with him. Our encounters happen every week which my husband calls my “home teaching”. It is hard to say who gets more out of this friendship; the miracle of friendship is that both can give and both can have more than ever. For me, this captures the spirit of the Relief Society’s teachings in our lives when we respond to needs we see.<br /><br />My husband and I adore Jordan. We see Jordan’s separation from his need to have much more constant one-on-one with people who believe as he does, that have an LDS background and who desire an interest of transformation, and that the need remains unmet. Little progress has been made toward getting a support group for anyone who has same-gender attraction in Portland that is LDS-based for those who do want to live the gospel standards and the doctrine and covenants. So many in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints think that they understand the struggle emotionally, mentally and spiritually; but to my husband and myself it is obvious that so many in the church really don’t understand Jordan’s passion. Jordan is willing and trusting of my husband and me to share what we are sending you, because we know that when Jordan returns from this journey with Oprah, Jordan will be more than an example to the gay community. He will be an example to anyone who is in Portland and honestly desires to walk in freedom as Jordan already does.<br /><br />Until you return from Oprah, Jordan, you are in our prayers of hearts of many who you have touched already… God isn’t finished with you yet, Jordan, so let’s all enjoy.

Having known Jordan over a number of years, I have witnessed his growth in much the same pattern. Over the past year or so, he has blossomed and his message is beginning to reach the larger audience.<br /><br />The message is to bring to light and then reach the many who have suffered with abuse in one form or another. So many suffer, but keep it hidden because it is still a topic that is not talked about or acknowledged for the most part. With all he has experienced and suffered, he is well poised to touch and give hope to so many whose lives are shackled and stunted by this issue. <br /><br />His stage has been local and LDS for the most part, but the upcoming appearance on Oprah will launch him into national/international exposure. The potential for rejuvenating a national dialogue that will reach out to so many is ripening with this opportunity in November. Most of us are not aware of the percentage of people in this county that are deeply scarred by abuse, but the numbers are staggering and seldom is it an isolated event; it runs in families and traverses generations in families. <br /><br />Jordan’s sacrifices for this cause may well bless each of us and help to heal families.<br /><br />den_dj1https://www.blogger.com/profile/16646999362018106361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843507817982855543.post-26370498618697867182014-09-17T19:11:21.517-07:002014-09-17T19:11:21.517-07:00Jordan, it is an honor to know you.
