And here's Eric Shaun McMahon...the newest addition to the YFC staff trilogy. With an enthusiastic heart to make an impact in the lives of Niverville's youth, he stepped up to the Drop-In plate over a year ago, and dedicated himself to the full-time position of Program Director. It's been quite a massive step as he did so in tandem with MARRIAGE, beginning his ministry upon return from his honeymoon. No wall is too high for Eric McMahon. This is the attitude he's taken as he has jumped right into the intensity of youth ministry with some of the tougher crowds. One can hear Eric every now and then say "people are just putting up walls, and I'm just tearing them down." It's his love for the kids that gets through, whether he's hanging out at the Drop-In, the skatepark, at the school, out for coffee, or in special events and programs with the kids.
Eric is just about 24 years old, and up until YFC he's done a number of random jobs, road trips, worked and lived in Thailand, lived in apartments with strange friends, and then married the love of his life, Melodie. He LOVES film, and music...and shares both these passions and talents in the ministry, and on top of being a man of God, he aspires to be a superhero called "Hawkman."
