While
the singing group, The Jordans, may not be widely known
by Southern Gospel listeners, the group is headed up by
David Jordan who has been involved as bass singer for
Phil Cross and Poet Voices and has sung with Todd
Nelon Quartet. While with Poet Voices,
they were part of the
Gaither Concerts & Video Series, sang at The
Georgia Dome, featured at The National
Quartet Convention and California Quartet
Convention and has traveled across the USA &
Canada . This has brought a background to
the group that enhances the choice of music and songs as
well as brought traveling experiences that make this
regrouping of The Jordans more prepared than ever to
minister in gospel song for the glory of God. David
believes that God took him into these past six years of
traveling to provide him the opportunity of learning
from others and now be more prepared to lead this
singing ministry where God wants it to go.
The Jordans have a style in southern gospel music
from traditional anthems to ballads, to hand-clapping
rejoicing songs. Although the sound is important to
them, the ministry is what has called this group
together seeking the blessings of God's anointing to be
used as a vessel of praise to Him and a blessing to
those who listen.
Other
members of this ministry include David's wife, Damaris,
who has sung with The Jordans since it first began as a
family ministry. She has enjoyed speaking to women's
groups and helped organize women's retreats hoping to
share her love for God and the love He has for everyone.
She brings a unique vocal style to the stage and also
shares from her heart the joys of knowing Jesus Christ
as Lord.
The 3rd member of this ministry is David's long-time
best friend, Mike Reeves. They have been involved in
music ministry together through the past 25 years in
singing groups and choir including Mike filling in on a
Canadian concert tour with Poet Voices. Mike shares his
love for God through his enthusiasm on stage, his
addition of humor, and encourages through true testimony
from his tender heart. His desire is to help change
someone's life. Mike owns
5 Star Tire & Auto, along with
a partner, in Griffin, GA and is always finding ways
there to get out a message to the world that hope in
life is found in Jesus Christ.
The 4th member of this ministry is Rodney Swain, who
began singing early in life, beginning at age eight on
local TV in Washington, DC. From there, his career
led to tenures with noted groups as "The Jacobs
Brothers" and "Rozie Rozell and The Searchers."
In 1976 he joined "The LeFevres" and remained to
become one of the original members of "The Rex Nelon
Singers." Rodney's voice is synonymous with
many Nelon's songs, most notably "Thank You Lord for
Your Blessings on Me." Today, Rodney is glad to be
back in Southern Gospel as the lead singer for "The
Jordans."
If you come to hear The Jordans or hear a recording,
their desire is that God will bless and draw you ever
nearer to Him. Without God's blessing upon them, they
could not and would not do the weekend schedule that
takes them away from family and church. But, believing
it is God's call to them, they are honored and thrilled
to be available for church services and events. Please
pray for them that God will be glorified in all they
undertake to do in serving Him.
