This picture of Jordan Niesman is from 2010. Jordan is a wonderful example of how youth can use their energy and talents to strengthen the local church. I have pastored the First Baptist Church of Freeport since 2008 and have personally observed Jordan serve our church as an usher, a groundskeeper, a tech booth professional, a nursery volunteer, an Awana leader, and more recently, as a youth group helper.
Jordan and his family love to serve God's people not only at Church they also serve folks in the community as well. Jordan has blessed my family many times over. In this regard, Jordan's testimony is an example to all of us who believe (per 1 Tim. 4:12).
As a young man Jordan has tried to live out the implications of Jesus' words in John 13:12-17.
And so when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments, and reclined at the table again, He said to them, Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am. If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you. Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master; neither is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him. "If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.This summer Jordan will be ministering at a Christian camp in Wisconsin. His absence will be felt in a big way and that is really the best commendation a church member can receive. Jordan reminds all of us that you are never too young to serve the Lord!
