Altrua HealthShare Welcomes Jordan St. Cyr to Its Family as Both a Member and Ambassador for the Christian Health Share

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

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."

Quakertown, USA, a dramatic, two-part documentary series chronicling the forced removal and relocation of a thriving community of more than 400 residents in Denton, Texas, will begin production this fall, the Denton Black Film Festival Institute and Southroad Pictures announced today.

The jointly produced series, against the backdrop of early 20th century Texas, will tell the story of Quakertown representing a multi-generational tragedy impacting the families who lost their homes, their land, and their livelihoods, but the human element leans in toward stories of recovery and resiliency from these stunning acts of indifference and cruelty.

The Denton Black Film Festival Institute received $250,000 from the city of Denton toward the production of this documentary series. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to raise the additional funds needed to produce the series.

“We believe that the Quakertown story can become a lighthouse of illumination for the entire country,” said Linda Eaddy, film programming director, Denton Black Film Festival. 

Filming of the series Quakertown, USA will begin this winter for an anticipated release in late 2024. The series will be created by veteran filmmakers King Hollis and Lindell Singleton, the team who brought the acclaimed historical documentary about the 1936 Texas centennial, “Rising: The Hall of Negro Life,” to PBS earlier this year and their film, “Echoes from the Hill,” slated for release this Fall.

Executive Producer King Hollis said, “I am delighted to work on a series about my hometown, where I spent my summers and where my family resides. It’s a personal story. Lindell and I are pleased to continue our work on these essential historical documentary series.”

About the Denton Black Film Festival Institute

The institute evolved from the Denton Black Film Festival (DBFF) to provide a platform to serve Black creatives of all backgrounds. The activities and events are open to ALL filmmakers, however, because of historical exclusion and limited participation in the film industry, we recognize a special need for support for those of the African and Black Diaspora. The Film Festival is an annual cultural event, featuring the works of seasoned and emerging filmmakers, creatives from around the country and talented college students, musicians, artists and spoken word poets. Held each January, thousands attend the celebration of storytelling in various art forms, which takes place in various venues. The next festival is slated for January 24-28, 2024, in person and extended virtually from January 28 to February 5. Website: https://dentonbff.com/
