Jon Sheptock

Jon Sheptock was born with no arms and a short right leg. The situation was too much for his birth parents to handle, and they immediately turned him over to the state. After 6 months in foster care, he was adopted by Joanne and Rudy Sheptock, who created a home where unwanted and disabled children would feel loved and safe. The boy who was completely alone suddenly had 33 siblings. Jon started singing in church at the age of 3, and he’s never stopped. In addition to singing in churches, schools, foster/adoption events, and mens conferences, Jon has become very active visiting and performing at prisons, and he and his band, One Percenters, are extremely proud of their growing prison ministry.

Jon is married to Staci, and they live in Houston, Texas with their 3 daughters. He lives life according to his motto of Making Life’s Challenges God’s Victories. Jon will kick off the Summit on Friday evening, April 15, and present a workshop on Saturday.
