Christian Song Writer, Singer and Father
My real name is Jordy Christo, I am a Christian song writer, singer and father of three beautiful children. I am the youth worship leader at my church and have the privileged of working with about 10 teenagers. Somewhere in my lists of things to do, I want to actually receive a Dove Award (Christian music award). When I am away from the computer, I usually can be found strumming my Larrivee' acoustic guitar and singing somewhere.
My oldest daughter, now 24 told me the other day that she has memories of hearing me play and sing the guitar downstairs as they were trying to go to sleep upstairs, when they were younger. My father past away when I was 5, so to hear that my daughter has such a great memory of her dad is a wonderful thing.
Life has not always been so wonderful though. About 13 years ago I found myself hitting bottom with an addiction to alcohol. I have been sober for 13 years, thanks to the grace of God. One of the greatest places that my talents are used is in the middle of where hurting people are. Many of them live on the streets. I have the privilege of leading worship services in several places in our area for people who are just beaten down by life.
The gift I have been entrusted with of being a Christian song writer is something that I cherish tremendously, because music is such a powerful thing. Being a father and loving my kids is another blessing that is comparable to none. Having a computer, good friends and a place to just babble ranks pretty high on my list of things I am grateful for too.
