Dick & Carolyn Ardron
In 1991 Dick and Carolyn Ardron became an extension of KCC mission with their work in Taiwan. With their strong connection to Youth With A Mission they have brought the gospel to many schools, universities, prisons, and churches. Dick and Carolyn have been very instrumental in establishing Ray of Hope Ministry which educates and provides alternatives to abortions. Through this ministry they have been able to influence government officials and educate this generation about the pain related to abortions. They have provided tools for rescuing and healing individuals who have intended to or have gone through these situations. This ministry has also opened the door for them to go into Hong Kong and China. Presently they reside in Alberta and travel yearly throughout Canada, United States, and Asia.
Graham & lynnea jackson
The Jackson family live and do ministry in Victoria, BC. Graham moved there in 1994 to organize the Youth With A Mission outreach to the Commonwealth Games. After the Games were over, he felt God directing him to remain in Victoria to pioneer a fulltime YWAM location. Since that time YWAM Victoria has done many things, but currently we are focused in four areas.
- First Nations ministry to the Pacheedaht (Port Renfrew) & Tsartlip (Brentwood Bay) communities.
- Mission Adventures. MA hosts church & school outreach teams to our city & First Nations communities.
- City Church. We are actively involved in working with local pastors & churches to work together at being the Church of the city. Over the last few years we have seen much progress in this area.
- Online discipleship training. We are working at putting our discipleship training school teachings online.
Enoch & Jen Jeong
We meet Enoch and Jen through our networking with the YWAM base in West Kelowna in 2006. Enoch served on the worship team at Kelowna Christian Center as well as gave oversight to the Korean DTS at YWAM. From there they believed that God wanted them to work on a YWAM base in Alberta in preparation for leadership of a new base amongst the native people in Saskatchewan. Ultimately they have a desire to return to India as missionaries and work amongst the poorest of the poor.
