Tustin, California, December 1st, 2021—After a long illness, Juan Carlos Ortiz passed away today at his home in Tustin, California, surrounded by his beloved wife, children, and grandchildren.

He was 87 years old.

A dynamic speaker and evangelist, Dr. Ortiz traveled to over 65 countries, preaching Christianity and founding churches.
