Jorge Vélez was a true man of God. He was a great human being and very kind and generous man. I consider him a great friend and supporter of my ministry. He will be remembered as one of the most respected people
Jorge was our Pastor, mentor, and especially a great friend who we loved very much. Sharing meals and coffee with him will be a missed time. We love your smile and loving heart. U will truly be missed. ❤️

Jorge fue amado por nuestra familia. Un gran ser humano, amigo y hermano en la fe. Un gran guerrero que peleó la buena batalla de la fe.
Descansa en paz.

Bendita sea su memoria.
