| ABOUT JUDERY ALMARIO |
Juderay's journey in youth ministry began during his middle school years when a family friend invited him to a church in West Los Angeles. This introduction to a vibrant youth community laid the foundation for his lifelong commitment to nurturing young people. As he matured, the lessons and values he absorbed during this time would later shape his adult life. In 2019, facing one of the toughest periods in his life, Juderay found purpose through God's grace. He joined Hillsong Church in Los Angeles. There, he mentored middle and high school students from across Greater Los Angeles, passing on the wisdom he had received and honing his leadership skills. After years of dedicated service, Juderay relocated to Orange County, where he played a pivotal role in revitalizing a struggling youth ministry at Bayside Church. His leadership was instrumental in launching the church's first middle school ministry and in recruiting and developing new youth leaders. Under his guidance, the youth community flourished, growing from 5 to 50 students in just a few months, showcasing God's unwavering faithfulness. Juderay's extensive experience in youth ministry has profoundly impacted his personal and professional journey. Through this podcast, he aims to empower and equip youth pastors and leaders to serve with care and compassion.
