Our History
Jordan Lewis Missions was established to honor the life and legacy of Jordan A. Lewis
Jordan was a graduate of Oral Roberts University, who fought a valiant battle against cancer and joined his Creator at the age of 23.
Jordan’s unflinching, unyielding faith in Christ was apparent to all whom he came in contact with. He served the Lord pure heartedly, modeling Christ in all that he did, and his passion was to reach those who had never heard the gospel. As a college student, Jordan was part of the “Man Team,” a small team of young men who lived among a previously unreached tribe cluster of 161,000 in Tanzania.
Jordan was one of the first to volunteer to share the Gospel with the tribe. He shared with a tribe member named Emmanuel, the first person to ever do so, and also gave him the meaning of his name.
Emmanuel received Christ that day, along with several others, and a church was formed. Now there are more than 50 churches. What began as a small outreach has now reached many lives. A birthing clinic, built by the Man Team that same year, now doubles as a church on the weekends.
JLM continues this mission and supports teams focused on reaching those who have yet to hear about Jesus. Projects span the globe and include China, Tanzania, Congo, Southeast Asian nations, India, the Middle East nations, Pakistan, Bangladesh, North Korea, and the unreached Muslims in NYC.
