Jason Waldroup, Greater Vision's long-time tenor, has announced his plans to leave the group to pursue a Seminary education, beginning this Fall.
According to Jason..."This is a decision I have been struggling with for more than a year, and the time has come for me to follow what I believe to be God's will for my life. I have delayed this decision because of my love for what I've been privileged to do for the past thirteen years as a part of Greater Vision, and my relationships with Gerald and Rodney. They, along with Chad Baker, our Product Manager, are family to me, and they're my closest friends. That has made this decision that much more difficult."
Gerald Wolfe, manager of Greater Vision, states, "Jason is like a son to me, as well as being one of the closest friends I've ever had. None of us want to see him leave, but we have encouraged him to follow God's leading, no matter what, and leave the consequences to Him."
Rodney Griffin, the group's baritone, stated, "I will certainly miss standing beside Jason every night, but he has my full support as he moves into his next phase of ministry."
Jason will be active in the selection of his replacement and will remain with the group to help train the new group member until his schooling begins in the Fall.
Jason Waldroup joined Greater Vision in 1995. He has been the recipient of numerous Singing News Fan Awards, most recently being named Gospel Music's Favorite Tenor in 2007. He, his wife Missy, and their children, Abbie and Jonathon reside in Morristown, Tennessee.

What a tremendous, gracious response to Jason's decision to follow the direction of our Dear Lord.
Well said Preacher Bob, what a desire he has to seek a "Greater Vision" for the Glory of God.
I will miss Jason but he needs to follow God's leading for his life. My prayers are with him & GV in this new chapter of their lives.
God is good all the time & all the time God is good.
