Voila!.....Monsieur Gordon Timothy James Kroeker, Niverville YFC's Executive Director. At the young age of 22, Gord finished up a college business degree and stepped right into the ministry about two years ago now. Thankfully he had spent the previous three summers working at YFC giving him an adequate initiation into the storm of youth ministry, though adequate may be an overstatement as there is very little experience that would be adequate preparation for being YFC Canada's youngest Executive Director.
His versatility has been fundamental to his work, for on top of connecting with youth and heading up the Drop-In Centre, Gord gets thrown into spheres such as planning banquets, delivering sermons, Seniors bible studies, random sports events, teaching elementary school kids, bookkeeping, cooking breakfasts, painting, and much more. In all of this, Gordon brings a keen understanding of people, business, and faith like no other; a combination so helpful to this ministry.
Gord has a passion for his family and his heritage, and a fascination with machines that move at ridiculous speeds (like a super-charged combine?). He also enjoys long walks along the Red River, Mennonite poetry, free-style hip-hop poetry, 16th century literature, and a mean farmer sausage.
