Jorge C. Valdez

Jorge was born in Jalisco, Mexico on April 24, 1949. In 1973 in a small church in Pennsylvania, Jorge accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and from that point on the direction of his life changed.

In 1975, shortly after meeting Jesus, he moved his family to El Paso, Texas to attend Latin American Bible Institute to study the Word of God. Pastor Jorge brought his family to Abundant Living Faith Center where a friendship would be established with the Nieman Family that has spanned over 40 years. Jorge was on staff at ALFC for over 25 years and also served as a senior pastor at Zoe Ministries almost 10 years. Pastor Jorge loved serving and helping people. He led many people through teaching, missions, spanish translation among many other things. He was a stranger to no one, and immediately created an engaging place for people to understand the truth of Jesus.

Jorge is survived by his wife, Marissa Valdez of 25 years, his children son-Phil Valdez, his wife Valerie and their son Gavin, son -Jorge Valdez, his wife Lily and their 3 daughters Jaydn, Vienna, and Capri, daughter- Katie Mendoza, her husband Jonathan, and their 4 children, Ellah, Justice, Malachi and new baby boy arriving May 2019, son- Daniel McDonald and his wife Beatriz, and his youngest son- Jireh Paul. He is also survived by a large family in Mexico including 8 brothers and sisters and many nieces and nephews.

The Valdez family would like to extend a special thanks to the Nieman family and the ALFC staff for their love, support and use of the ALFC facilities. We truly appreciate all that you have done to help our family.
