Jason Currie . Executive Director
I believe that the ages of 11-18 are the most critical ages of life! The foundation that is laid during these years dictate much of the rest of our lives. I believe that it is very crucial we reach people before the age of 18…not only do statistics show it, but simply by personal assessment and experience it is obvious the openness and softer hearts that teenagers have towards God.
Because I believe this I love so many aspects of Youth for Christ’s vision. I love YFC’s focus towards LOST and non-churched kids! I grew up as a pastor’s kid in Michigan and always thought about being a youth pastor. I love the fact that we get to GO to the kids – on their “turf,” in their world, and in a relevant and consistent way that hopefully earns the right to speak truth into their lives. I also love that I get to be a part of a team of awesome men and women that do the same exact thing throughout the city. I love that my wife and kids get to not only experience, but participate in reaching students and families with the message of Jesus Christ in our community.
Want me to keep going?
I love the fact that we get to work with people and churches of all different backgrounds that have a passion and desire to see our city transformed by God’s grace. I love the empty gymnasiums and wrestling rooms that get crowded full of kids every week and experience Campus Life and the adults that want to love them right there and for who they are. I love YFC because it was the connecting point for my beautiful wife and I! We met through YFC in 2002 and were married in 2003. She is the most amazing woman in this world – and I owe YFC big time!
I volunteered with a Campus Life program for 5 years in Michigan. The last year I was a “volunteer” staff and that is when I realized God was leading me into working full time with YFC. In September 2003, I joined Omaha YFC as the Elkhorn and Westside Campus Life Director. In 2005 I became the Campus Life High School Coordinator in addition to my Elkhorn CL Director role, and in August of 2006 became the Executive Director of Omaha YFC…and I love being the Executive Director in the Omaha Area.
More About Jason
I am blessed with an amazing wife (married since July 2003) and 3 kids. My wife, Isaiah (6), Summer (4) and Zane (1) are my favorite people to be with in this entire world. Every summer we love to go to the beach and enjoy the sand and waves! We all enjoy sports – basketball, football, baseball, tennis, golf, hockey – our cul-de-sac is an endless field for every sport. I have to just be ok with my cars suffering a few dents here and there.
