Hear Jon’s Heart…

It just might change your life

take a few minutes each day to go up on the rooftop with jon

“…Jon does a masterful job of letting us peek into the human emotion of God’s edict to ‘help the widows and orphans.’ If you can’t go yourself, then take a few minutes each day to go up on the rooftop in Guatemala with Jon, and see it through the eyes of a man sold out to showing the love of Jesus in the midst of real need. It will inspire you to seek God’s direction in how to get involved.”

rooftop reflections will make you want to go and serve

“Jon Stolpe shared his heart for missions and Guatemala in such a way that his story pricks your heart and makes you long to be there alongside him. If you have a heart, and even if you don’t, for missions, Rooftop Reflections will make you want to go and serve.”

Jon captures the essence of the gospel

“….In chronicling his trip to Guatemala… Jon captures the essence of the gospel, which is loving and serving others in order to earn the right to share Jesus with them. As Jon writes about the events of his trip he gently coaxes the reader to consider the possibility of going on a mission trip. Rooftop Reflections not only offers a look into the lives of people in a Guatemalan village, but also into the heart of a man called to serve the least of these by building homes for widows.  Journey with Jon through the pages of this book and you just might decide to journey with him to Guatemala one day.”

Jon does not do mission – he lives it

“…. Jon Stolpe writes about what he lives out.  Jon does not do mission – he lives it.  He has stepped out into a goal to build 100 homes for the widows of Xenacoj, Guatemala.  However, Jon knows that being missional is not just about projects; it is about the Gospel of Jesus and people….Like Jesus, he gathers around the table to invest in the people of Xenacoj.  Jon’s writing is real and honest and it clearly comes from his heart.  Jon describes himself as just an ordinary guy, but he is far from ordinary.  He has grasped the understanding of what it means to give your life away for the cause of Christ.  Read on if you are ready to truly be missional.”

Will you choose to be bigger than yourself?

Rooftop Reflections is so much more than an ordinary guy attempting to change the world.  It is a movement of change in another country brought on by God’s will in Jon’s heart to serve the fatherless.  It is truly greater than us all, yet so closely within reach.  Three average American homes today will shelter 100 widows in Guatemala tomorrow.  The choice to be a part of that magnificent transaction is yours.  The only question I have for you is will you join us?  Will you choose to be bigger than yourself and create your own rooftop reflections?  Jon’s story will inspire you to become who you were created to be and truly learn how one can live to give.”
