Jon Sheptock

Jon Sheptock was born in New Jersey in 1976 without arms and with his right leg 6 inches shorter than his left. He was more than his birth mother could bring herself to see and without even holding her baby boy, she handed him over to the state. Fortunately for Jon, after 6 months in foster care, he was adopted by an amazing couple who felt it was God's calling upon their own lives to give a home to unwanted and afflicted children. All together the Sheptock's family included 27 adopted children, 7 biological children and 3 adopted grandchildren. A total of 37 Sheptock children! Jon was not able to do many of the things that most children take for granted. But as a Sheptock, felling sorry for one's self was not an option. Life hasn't always been a box of chocolates for Jon. The stares, sense of abandonment, self doubt, being ridiculed and even being spit on as a young boy was what Jon became accustomed to. In his teenage years, he has a particularly hard time not knowing where he fit in. He contemplated suicide, but instead he gave his life fully to Christ and found that with God, anything is possible! God has blessed Jon beyond his wildest dreams; he has a supportive family, a wonderful Christian wife, and 3 beautiful daughters. His musical journey has also taken flight. He has had the opportunity to perform with Bill Gaither on tour, and the honor of giving his personal testimony to prisoners and church congregations alike!
