Jack Ortego

Missouri and Central States

Jack Ortego is committed to strengthening churches and equipping Christian men throughout the Midwest, where he serves as the Regional Director supporting fellow Area Directors. In addition to leading his regional team, he guides leaders in and around his home base of O’Fallon, MO, through a comprehensive strategy to reach and disciple men, with the goal of changing lives and building the kingdom of God.

He expanded his reach community-wide, spending 11 years discipling men as Lead Coordinator for men’s weekend retreats, impacting many churches and denominations. Jack and his wife Beverley moved to the St. Louis region in 2014 where he has served with Man in the Mirror since 2016. He and Bev continue to cheer on LSU Tiger football as they “Love Purple, Live Gold.”
