Joe Jordan came to know Christ as Savior through the influence of a Christian businessman who sent him to camp at Word of Life Island in 1961. Joe responded to the Gospel under the preaching of Jack Wyrtzen and God changed the life of a troubled teenager into a young man with a burning desire to be used of God to reach others. Joe graduated in 1969 from Tennessee Temple University with a bachelor of arts degree in Bible and Theology. He studied at Philadelphia College of Bible and Lynchburg College. He also holds a Doctor of Divinity degree from Tennessee Temple. In 1969, Joe was accepted as a full-time missionary with Word of Life. Later that year he left for Argentina,
where for the next 20 years, he founded and directed the ministry of Word of Life. God blessed and expanded the work in Argentina to include a Bible Institute with some 560 students, camps in Buenos Aires and Pichi Traful and Clubs throughout the country. From Argentina, missionaries have been sent out to almost every Spanish speaking country in Central and South America as well as to Italy, Spain, Romania, Ukraine and Portugal. After serving five years as Senior Vice-President of Ministries, in 1995 Joe was appointed Director of Word of Life Fellowship International. In August of 1999, Joe was then appointed Executive Director of the worldwide ministries of Word of Life.
