Executive Director and Chancellor
Joe Jordan came to know Christ as Savior through the influence of a Christian businessman who sent Joe to camp at Word of Life Island in 1961. Joe responded to the Gospel under the preaching of Jack Wyrtzen, and God began changing 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 also studied at Philadelphia Biblical University and Lynchburg College, and he holds a Doctor of Divinity Degree from Tennessee Temple University. In 1969, Joe was accepted as a Word of Life missionary to Argentina. Joe founded and directed the ministry of Word of Life there for the next twenty years. As a result of his leadership, missionaries were trained and sent to almost every country in Latin America and to several other countries around the world. After returning to the United States in 1991 and serving as Senior Vice President of Ministries, Joe became Director of Word of Life in 1995. In 1999, he was appointed Executive Director of the worldwide ministries of Word of Life. Joe and his wife, Melva, have three children, who along with their spouses are all serving the Lord
