Author: Richard Rivera
After attempting bull riding, Richard Rivera who is the Director of Youth Ministry at St. Andrew the Apostle, awakened to a deeper love for serving teens and a new passion for helping others in youth ministry and a desire for scuba diving. Growing up in a military family, he changed addresses often, teaching him to be a seeker of God’s constant presence, a welcoming friend, and a person who celebrates unexpected blessings. After over a decade in full-time ministry, Richard still wholeheartedly serves youth, living his motto of “work hard, play hard, and pray harder.”
