My journey with YFC started in the early 1970s at 95 Dundas Street. I was a \u201croadie\u201d for the London YFC music teams and came to faith in Jesus after a trip to Detroit in 1974.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"y-intro--upper--right\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"y-c-img extend\">\n\t\t<div class=\"y-c-img--extend medium\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2022\/05\/Jeff-scaled.jpg);\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"y-c-img--contain\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2022\/05\/Jeff-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"y-intro--lower\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"grid-narrow\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"y-intro--lower--left\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"y-intro--lower-content\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I joined the staff in 1976 as a full time Campus Life worker in three London high schools. After 11 years of operating Master Auto Care and a 30 year teaching career at Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School, I have returned to the YFC staff on a part time basis. It feels like I\u2019ve never been too far away, as I have served on the Board of Directors for 35 consecutive years.(1986-2022)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our mission at London YFC has not changed. We\u2019re \u201canchored to the rock and geared to the times\u201d. We have discovered that in the past 2 years, youth have suffered in silence as they wrestled with online learning, lack of meaningful \u201cin person\u201d relationships and isolation from extended family and friends. It\u2019s my desire to help reengage the youth, schools and churches in south-central London with our Youth Center and our mission \u201cto see every young person living fully alive in Christ\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you for partnering with us<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jeff Ste.
