About
Jordan Whitmer
Founder / Global Director
New York City / New Jersey, USA
Jordan Whitmer is the founder and Global Director of HowToLife Movement, a global youth movement reaching, discipling, and mobilizing the next generation for Christ.
Jordan founded HowToLife as a 16-year-old high school student in 2015, when he and a group of friends organized an outreach to reach their peers with the Gospel. Since then, HowToLife has grown into a global movement spanning the United States and nations around the world.
Today, Jordan leads HowToLife’s global vision and missionary team, while continuing to disciple and mobilize young leaders, pioneer new areas of ministry, and speak at churches, conferences, retreats, and gatherings around the world.
Jordan is a graduate of Liberty University with a degree in Biblical and Theological Studies and is an ordained minister.
His first book, Surrendered and Sent: Living on Mission for Jesus, will be published by InterVarsity Press in May 2027. The book invites followers of Jesus to move beyond a shallow or comfortable Christianity and live lives of deeper surrender, faithfulness, fruitfulness, and mission.
Jordan is based in the New York City area and travels extensively throughout the United States and around the world, helping raise up a generation of young people who faithfully follow Jesus and help others follow Him.
Support Jordan Whitmer as your missionary to the next generation of young people.
