On behalf of the Northeastern Indiana District, I want to express our great joy in having you minister to us during camp meeting. Even though I had heard your demo CD, your ministry far surpassed my expectations. Your vocal talent was outstanding, and the spirit of the presentation was definitely anointed by God. The young and old alike enjoyed your ministry. Tim, your kind and encouraging demeanor as Worship Leader was the highlight of the week. Katie, bless your heart. You are just as real and sweet as your poster portrays you to be. You sing with such humility and enthusiasm, anointed by the presence of the Holy Spirit. Your voice is one of the finest trained alto voices I have ever heard. Your wide range is so amazing! Keep on singing for Jesus and He will use you to touch the thirsting souls of people everywhere you go.

Katie is a young woman that can “flat out” SING! It is obvious that Katie truly loves and believes in what she is singing. She radiates the joy of the Lord both on and off the stage. She sings music that honors God with a spirit-filled professionalism that belies her age. I have seen her in concert and have completely reviewed her recent CD project (and play it on the air). Everything . . . her voice, her stage presence, the way she relates to the audience tells me that Katie’s music ministry will spread far and wide. I have booked nationally-known Christian artists for many years. It is a matter of when, not if, Katie ascends to a national level. She is welcome at our venue anytime she can fit us into her schedule.

Recently, the staff here at WXML Christian Radio heard about a wonderful Christian singer from NW Ohio. Once we received her album, all of us at the station fell in love with her unique musical style. We immediately added Katie Jordan & Soul Venture to our play list. During a recent interview with Katie in our studio, we were impressed with her sincerity and her dedication to use music as a way to minister to others. I definitely recommend Katie Jordan & Soul Venture to any church, civic group, or organization that wants a group to come and minister in music. They would be a great choice!

It is my joy to recommend to you the ministry of Katie Jordan & Soul Venture. Katie is a committed Christian and a talented, versatile musician. Katie's quality vocal talent is complemented by the music of Soul Venture. The thing that stood out most to me about this group is that they did not come to perform, but to minister to the body of Christ. They came and led us in worship. I would encourage you to have Katie & Soul Venture at your church to lead a worship service, provide a concert, or help in any type of gathering. You and your church will be blessed.

As Katie's pastor, it is an honor for me to recommend her to you. Katie grew up in our church and is faithful to attend services whenever she is in town. She is a wonderful young woman whose heart is alive with praise to our Lord Jesus. She is a vocalist with a beautiful gift that blesses those who hear her sing. Katie is not limited to any one style and thus she appeals to many different types of audiences. You will be inspired and blessed by her music. I whole heartedly endorse Katie and believe her music ministry will be far reaching.

Recently, I was a speaker at the Northwest Ohio District Camp Meeting. It was there that I met Katie Jordan, a very special and gifted young lady. Katie is one of the most exciting and blessed gospel singers I have heard in many years. Everyone at the Camp Meeting loved her! She sings with enthusiasm, anointing, and her personality is contagious. If you want a talented and spiritual singer in your church for any special occasion, I highly recommend Katie to you. She will be a blessing to your congregation!

Dear Katie: I really enjoyed having you with us at the First Creation Concert. Your singing was outstanding! What I liked most about your singing was your beautiful spirit. I am very pleased to recommend you to others. May the Lord bless you and enable you to continue to do great things in your music ministry.

In nearly 40 years of ministry, I have never witnessed or experienced a more positive, personable, or powerful presentation of the gospel than during our recent concert/worship service with Katie Lynne Jordan and her vocal team. The professional quality of her voice coupled with the awesome dynamic and charisma of her Christ-like personality is at once captivating, encouraging, and inspiring. Katie's selection of music appealed to all ages and musical interests. Katie sings from her soul, sings for the love of the Lord; and it is He who shines through her. When you have Katie for a concert, you will hear Katie, but more importantly, you will see Jesus.

From the beginning musical note to the last, God’s presence was evident in our recent concert with Katie Jordan and Soul Venture. The organization of their presentation, their musical preparation, and their sensitivity to the leadings of the Holy Spirit blended into a concert where hearts were warmed and blessed. Katie and her team were not just performers but prompters that helped our congregation engage in a wonderful worship experience. We look forward to another time together with them.

Thank for a wonderful worship service Sunday. The music and your sensitivity to the Holy Spirit's direction was greatly appreciated. The variety in your music helps to lead the congregation into praising and lifting up Christ. I have already recommended your music ministry to several Pastor's for their consideration. Your presentation was first class and anointed. God Bless you!

What a wonderful time we had this past weekend with Katie Jordan & Soul Venture! The quality of their ministry showed their commitment to serve Christ with excellence in music and in spirit. Katie's unique vocal stylings were impeccably performed and showcased her outstanding vocal technique. What a variety of sounds! Southern gospel and country that pleased the most ardent fans were paired with contemporary and traditional songs so that every person heard the gospel in their own "heart language." Thanks for tailoring your presentation to our needs. We hope to have you return sometime in the future. Pastor Phil and I both are happy to recommend you to any who are looking for a quality music ministry.

Dr. Charles Waters (Pastor) and the congregation of New Destiny Worship Center had the recent privilege and honor of experiencing Katie Jordan and her vocal team in sounds of praise and worship. Katie and her group ministered to us with words of life and encouragement through strong and pure vocals. When I met Katie in 2003 when she was crowned Hal Jackson's Miss Talented Teen Ohio, I knew the potential for this young vessel of God. I highly recommend Katie to anyone that wants to abide in the presence of God. By the time the group reached their final song and Katie sang "What Can Separate You?” tears were rolling down my cheeks without shame. The depth and wisdom of this chosen vessel of God will surpass even your preconceived notions about her. I encourage you to experience the gift of music that God has given Katie while the door of opportunity is open.

During the past thirteen years it has been my privilege to work with some of the finest talent in the field of Christian music. Our recent concert with Katie Jordan and her vocal team was the best combination of talent and message during my tenure as Senior Pastor. At the end of the concert, the altars were filled with both those who invited Jesus into the hearts and with Christians who recommitted themselves to be Christ's disciples. I appreciated the wide range of music which offered something to all age groups. Katie and her team connected well with our congregation. I also appreciated the group's program which was prayerfully well structured, but not rigid. The glory was given to God. The results were evidenced by the altar response.

A concert by Katie Jordan & Soul Venture is a concert of worship. From the opening song to the end, this group desires to lift up Jesus, to engage people in worship, and to create the opportunity for the Holy Spirit to impact people's lives. Through musical excellence, humble and relevant testimonies, and great songs that are both toe tapping and moving, this group honors Christ. I give them two thumbs (way) up!

It was a privilege to have Katie Jordan & Soul Venture at our church recently for a concert! We felt the Spirit of God ministering to us through their music and as they led our congregation in worship. This group was excellent, not only for their fine musical talent, but also for the warm, friendly spirit with which they ministered. They were certainly a blessing to us. I have already recommended them to other pastors. We look forward to hearing a lot more of Katie Jordan & Soul Venture!

A quality spirit and performance is what one will experience when having Katie Jordan and her vocal team in concert. Katie is bright, sensitive, and full of energy. When sharing with our congregation recently, people responded enthusiastically as the Spirit of God spoke through their music. I would highly recommend Katie and her team to anyone looking for an excellent concert experience where God is honored and saints are edified. I close with these words from many of our congregation, “When are they coming back?"

Katie Jordan loves the Lord and is able to express that in her music. She relates well with the listening audience and pulls them in to listening to the words of her songs. God certainly has given her a gift! It is thrilling to watch her as she shares her God-given talent to glorify His name. She sings with enthusiasm and joy. I thoroughly enjoy listening to her and watching her express her faith during concerts. I highly recommend Katie and her vocal team to others.

I whole-heartedly recommend the music ministry and artistry of Katie Jordan. Her music beautifully gives testimony to the life-changing power of the Gospel and is an encouragement to all. Katie’s superior vocal talent is equally matched with her ability to skillfully bring worshipers into the presence of a Holy God. When we had Katie and her vocal team in concert, their musical selections were stirring, tasteful, and excellent in every way. Most importantly, Katie and her ministry team allowed the Holy Spirit to direct and lead our worship. You will be blessed by the anointed and powerful ministry of Katie Jordan.
Rev. Thom Sneed, Worship Arts Pastor

We recently had the privilege of having Katie Jordan come to our school to lead praise and worship for our faculty and staff during an in-service meeting. What a blessing it was to hear her sing and give her testimony in song. She seemed very comfortable in the presence of many of her former teachers. The quality and spirit that came across through her music was inspiring. Many teachers commented that Katie's mini-concert was the best time of praise & worship that they had experienced in many years. I highly recommend Katie Jordan, not only as a godly young lady, but also a person with a strong message that she conveys so beautifully through her singing.
Jim Ellinger, Superintendent

We recently had Katie Jordan and her vocal team for a Sunday morning concert. Our church truly enjoyed their music ministry. The music and testimony was spirit-filled and the performance was a blessing to all in attendance. We are thankful for the opportunity to have had Katie for this concert and would highly recommend her to others.
Ray Hansen, Pastor
Ridgeway Church of the Nazarene

Our recent concert with Katie Jordan and her vocal team was wonderful! Everyone really enjoyed their music. The variety of musical styles was very well rounded and appealed to everyone. Katie and her team have a very "down to earth", make yourself at home attitude and approach. During the concert, they made the audience feel as if we were sitting in their home "jamming" with them. I liked that and so did everyone that I talked to after the concert. We definitely plan to have them return in the near future and have been recommending them to other churches. The music ministry of Katie J and her vocal team is truly blessed and anointed by God.

Kate Jordan and Soul Venture ministered to us during our Sunday morning service which had been planned with a youth emphasis. The group was very willing to accommodate our special day and did so with such a wonderful spirit. Katie's voice and the blend of the group were excellent, but most outstanding was the overall ministry that took place through the songs, spoken words, and spiritual challenge during the altar call. We appreciated their commitment to lifting up Christ above all else and would encourage other churches to use their ministry.
Pastor Andy Hill, Lead Pastor
Calvary Bible Chapel
Toledo, Ohio
Our recent Sunday service with Kate Jordan and Soul Venture may have to go on the "All-Time Highlight Reel" of my 20 years as a pastor! The selfless-servant attitude of Kate & Soul Venture allowed the Spirit of God to take center stage throughout the morning service, from the introduction to the altar call. Their entire stay with us was a first-class ministry experience. Their musical talent was great, their harmony was tight, their tech knowledge was superior, their desire for excellence was primary, and their witness on and off the platform was clear. They made friends and influenced people for Jesus at our church and I thank God for sending them! I recommend treating your congregation to a Sunday of ministry with Kate Jordan and Soul Venture.
