Justin Jundante, born in the Philippines came to the US at 10 years old. Raised in West Covina, California. He was in the US Marines for 6 years and has been out for 2 years.
Justin’s MOS was 0811 field artillery cannoneer. He is currently a salesperson for a coconut milk company called KokoMoo at a farmer’s market in OC. Some of the previous jobs he has worked at are babysitting, accounting assistant, server, and HVAC assistant.
I’ve been a believer for 2 years now. Some of the hobbies Justin enjoys are working out, hiking, volleyball, drawing, and interviewing people about their Testimonies on how God found them. What he aspires to be is to not be limited in how he helps people and to not be limited in the tasks God has for him.

Justin sells coconut milk in Orange County, but he grew up in San Gabriel Valley in West Covina.
No, he was actually born in the Philippines and moved to San Gabriel Valley when he was 10 years old.
He still has detailed memories of some incidents in the Philippines, such as being attacked by dogs and all the poverty and people fighting just to get food.
This gives Justin a different mindset on the American dream and finds it ironic when people in the USA claim they are oppressed. It is nothing like 3rd world countries.
He kind of knew a little bit since his mother raised him for 10 years and his father was often away. His father, a provider, was away to make ends meet for the family. He ended up bringing Justin and his mother to the United States.
Justin admits while growing up that, he was rather peculiar; he likes to think of it as ‘thinking outside the box.’ He doesn’t relate to many people and was even bullied in the Philippines.
And in America, he spoke very broken English, so at school when he would be called on or have to go to the chalkboard he was commonly made fun of.
Unfortunately, Justin had a friend in school who wasn’t truly a friend. She manipulated Justin and their relationship and always made him feel alone and worthless.
This led to Justin developing a deep depression and feeling of loneliness. It got to the point that even suicide seemed like a fantastic idea.
No, Justin’s family was very absent and distracted by trying to work and keep the family afloat.
He was working with his father for a while doing AC units, but he hated it and his body started changing. He gained a ton of weight. He felt he needed a drastic change and ended up joining the Marines for about six years.
It also was a way of rebelling against his parents. They were trying to control who he was, so he wanted to throw them a curveball.
He still felt an empty void and turned to alcohol. Which, looking back, he knew was unhealthy but he couldn’t help it. It temporarily took his problems away.
Justin likes to interview people on their testimony, in terms of their relationship with Jesus Christ. He likes to have a collection of testimonies to give people hope and be a lighthouse, so to speak, for God’s messages and word. He calls it the scars of glory.
Justin believes God gives him signs as to whom to reach out to and interview.
Yes. Justin believes it is Joshua 1:9. “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
