For several years, I had the privilege of being on the pastoral staff where Vern was a member. He was an invaluable wealth of knowledge, teaching ability, and humility during my time there. As I have transitioned into a pastoral position, he was my first thought on providing a valuable, engaging, informative, and dynamic presentation to my new church.
He is extraordinarily well researched in the areas of Biblical customs and daily life, and his presentations are not merely informational – they are truly interesting to any student of Scripture, allowing us to better understand the language, customs and flow of the Biblical narrative. We believe every word of the text is inspired and has meaning for us to dive into, and Vern’s gifting and ability bring it out in a marvelous way.

It is my pleasure and delight to recommend Vern Jordin to teach and lead Insights in Biblical Narratives and Culture. Vern is a member of our church, a friend and a lover of God’s Word. He has taught on many occasions and our church family is always blessed. Vern’s teaching gives insight into the living Word of God in such a way that every student can learn and be encouraged. Your congregation will appreciate his teaching and their faith will be strengthened by the historical, archeological, and spiritual insights that he provides. May the Lord bless you and your congregation as you invite Vern to come and lead you in an Insights in Biblical Narratives and Culture seminar.

Each year, for five years, Vern Jordin has led an August Bible study on each of the Wednesday nights in the month. Vern’s unusual insight into the history, background and customs of biblical times, coupled with his knowledge of archeology, make his presentations interesting and inspirational. We have come to look forward to “Wednesday nights with Vern” and are happy to recommend his ministry to any church that seeks a deeper knowledge of the background of Scripture. Vern is a committed student of the Bible and his presentations are ideal for Sunday School teachers, Bible study leaders and for general church audiences. If you desire to lead your church into a deeper understanding of the Scripture, you cannot do better than host an Insights in Biblical Narratives & Culture seminar with Vern.

I have had the privilege of working closely with Bro. Vern for five years now. I have learned from his teaching in our church during a month long, weekly series about the geography and culture of the Ancient Near East. I have benefited from his knowledge and insight both for people in my ministry and for my family as we spent time with him walking through biblical archives and exhibits. Bro. Vern is a wealth of knowledge and information. He will be a blessing and encouragement to any congregation to which he presents his material. I would encourage you to invite Bro. Vern to speak to your congregation or small group!
