Juan Carlos began his career as pastor and evangelist at the surprising age of sixteen in Argentina. His dynamic and vibrant messages were so effective that a seminary granted him a special exemption and accepted this underage student with God’s fingerprint on his life into their school. By age twenty-three, Juan Carlos was preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ at crusades throughout Argentina and, today, many of South America’s largest churches credit their spiritual roots to Juan Carlos. He founded five churches and was pastor of the largest evangelical church in Buenos Aires from 1966 to 1978. Dr. Ortiz has ministered in conventions, congresses, universities, seminaries and churches in five continents. He has taught in a Bible College -- Instituto Biblico de la Plata -- in Argentina, and at present is a professor at the Fuqua School of Communications, which operates on the campus of the Crystal Cathedral, in Garden Grove, California. He is also Pastor of the Hispanic Ministry at the Crystal Cathedral.
