Jordan St. Cyr
Jordan St. Cyr joins the Altrua HealthShare family as both a Member and an Ambassador for our Christian health share.

AUSTIN, Texas, August 10, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Altrua HealthShare has welcomed Juno Award-winning singer-songwriter Jordan St. Cyr to the Altrua HealthShare family as both a Member and an Ambassador for the Christian health share. 

"When I first met Jordan, I knew he was the kind of person who makes serving and sharing with others a priority," says John Capezzuti, COO of Altrua HealthShare. "And the more I learned about Jordan's life, his commitment to his family, and his relationship with God, it seemed a great fit to welcome him as a Member of Altrua HealthShare and for him to share his experience about the care his family receives and how they share that care with others through our health share ministry."

Jordan St. Cyr was raised in the small Canadian town of Niverville, Manitoba, where contemporary Christian music, much less the music heritage of Nashville, seemed far, far away. During his teen years, while working with the ministry YWAM, Jordan began to compose music and lead worship. He served as a youth pastor for several years and continued to make music, both under his own name and as a songwriter in the Christian music space. His first full-length album was released in 2022, including "Fires" and "Weary Traveler," which both landed at the top of the Christian charts. He and his family relocated that year to Tennessee.

As a father of four and a husband, Jordan's experiences of his family life, the joys and the challenges, make their way into his music. As he says, "My prayer is that my songs would bring comfort and joy to those who hear them. I pray that listeners would be more hopeful and open to the depths of God's love for them, knowing that their circumstances are not a reflection of how God feels about them. Rather, their circumstances would reveal the closeness and nearness of the Holy Spirit."

Jordan's alignment with the guiding principles of Altrua HealthShare made him an obvious fit for the health share. "We love working with people who make caring for others, hearing their stories, and coming alongside them, part of their approach to living a life of faith. Jordan and his family do exactly that," says Capezzuti. 

Jordan's time as an Ambassador for Altrua HealthShare will include sharing his experience as part of the Membership. He says, "It does my heart good knowing that my family and I have the coverage and support we need through Altrua HealthShare. Their Christ-centered approach to healthcare makes all the difference and I'm so grateful to be a part of the family."
