The Purpose of This Journal and Blog

Written By Pedro Israel Orta

This website is a personal page to provide viewers with content on: 1) ministry associated with the Pedro Israel Orta Evangelistic Association doing business as Pedro Israel Orta Ministries; 2) to speak the truth to power with no shame; 3) inform the audience on matters of importance associated with current events; 4) provide some stories about my photography brand “Israel Orta Photography: Painting with Light”; and 5) random posts and broadcasts about these aforementioned topics.

          The primary purpose will be the ministry of the Word of God. However, the Ministry of the Word of God affects every aspect of our lives, society, civil institutions, and government. Jesus commanded the believers to be the “Light of the World” and for us to shine our light with no shame. Speaking truth to power; exposing evil and calling for repentance is to shine our light with no shame. 

          As a US Government whistleblower, I spoke truth to power and refused to bow down to the bullies who tried to silence me. I will proclaim the truth with no shame, and I will preach the righteousness which comes through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.

          Meanwhile, through many years I developed a portfolio of photographs which I have branded through my company with numerous online exhibits. This blog will in part seek to increase awareness of these photographs.     

          I welcome your comments and thoughts for each post.

Pedro Israel Orta

Pedro Israel Orta is a Miami-born son of Cuban exiles who fled the tyranny of Fidel Castro’s communism. An 18-year veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency, he served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Middle East, and as an Inspector General for the Intelligence Community. Orta’s whistleblowing led to reprisals and termination, despite earning eight Exceptional Performance Awards for his contributions to U.S. national security, primarily in counterterrorism operations. Before the CIA, he served in the U.S. Army with an honorable discharge and worked 14 years in the business world, mostly in perishable commodity sales.


Orta earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in Political Science and International Relations from Florida International University, graduating summa cum laude, and a Master of Arts degree in Security Policy Studies from George Washington University, specializing in defense policy, transnational security issues, and political psychology.


A licensed minister with the Evangelical Church Alliance since 1991, Orta is deeply rooted in the Word of God, trained through teachings by Kenneth E. Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, and Keith Moore. He was ordained in 1994 by Buddy and Pat Harrison with Faith Christian Fellowship and later by Christ for All Nations (CfaN). In June 2021, he graduated from CfaN’s Evangelism Bootcamp and served in the Mbeya, Tanzania Decapolis Crusade. Additionally, he earned a diploma in Itinerant Ministry from Rhema Bible Training College in May 2023.


Now calling Tulsa, Oklahoma, home, Orta dedicates his time to writing, filmmaking, speaking, Christian ministry, and photography, advocating for integrity, honor, and respect in government and society.
