Judy Reamer
Judy Reamer is an author and conference speaker. She grew up in Philadelphia, PA and graduated from the University of Maryland with an art degree, teaching in that field for several years.

She was born Jewish, but no one she knew talked about the God of her fathers. Even the Rabbi's references to God were intellectual, not relational. Had Judy been familiar with the Old Testament, not oral traditions, she would have saved herself many years of heartache and searching.

Judy's search for spiritual truth and lasting peace took her down various roads. Eventually the occult and cults became her life. After years of deception, God broke through her foggy perceptions and used her Hollywood teenage idol to set her free.

The truth of the Messiah ended Judy Reamer's search down the avenues of rabbinical Judaism and the occult. She joyfully shares the ways of God with unreserved frankness and simple practicality all over the country. Her teachings come from life experiences that illustrate the magnificence of God and the reality of the Bible. Judy resides in Atlanta, GA and is a widow with 4 grown children.

Judy's seminar subjects are varied and relevant to daily life. At times a humorist, she is also deeply serious about handling the Bible with reverence.

Judy's best selling book, FEELINGS WOMEN RARELY SHARE, boldly confronts an often avoided female issue: sexual temptation. Timely and revealing, the message is one every woman should read at least once.

Her latest book, THE PARABLE OF THE SHOES (The Hidden Value of a Comfortable Soul), breaks through the wall of a serious subject using an inventive parable.

Speaking nationally and beyond for 31 years, she has taught and testified several times on the "700 Club", TBN, and Christian networks in Canada.

The Young At Heart Choir
"Walking in the spirit of our youth, while reacting in the wisdom of our years"
This is a motto God has given to the Young at Heart choir as we go from place to place singing God's praises and sharing His love through music and fellowship with people of all ages.

The Young at Heart choir is made up of senior adults from the age of 55 to whenever God takes us home to heaven. Our average age the last time we checked was 72, and we have grown to a membership of around 108, This count includes our support team that travels with us. Check our members page for the latest count.

We began this unique ministry in 1988 as a senior adult choir under the sponsorship of a local church. Our increasing ministry outside that denomination attracted other seniors who wanted to become a part of us. The Lord began to change circumstances and open new doors that lead us more into our community and other fields of service. With much prayer and council, we decided to become a ministry of Bible-believing Christians. Now the Lord has made it possible for us to go to all of God’s people without denominational barriers. Now, there are seventeen denominations represented in our choir. In so doing, the Lord truly broke down barriers allowing us not only to be a blessing to people outside of the choir, but inside the hearts of our choir members, as well.
