MISSION CANADA CAMPUS APPRENTICE
Ministry Location: British Columbia Institute of Technology, Burnaby, BC
Ministry Focus:     Campus Ministry

After five years of studying Biology and Fisheries Conservation at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and at Vancouver Island University (VIU), Justin decided to dedicate himself to campus ministries at British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). Throughout his undergraduate years, he has been exposed to various cultures of Christian groups at different universities. Campus ministry is something that has been in the back of his mind for a while and now he finally gets to be a part of the staff team! At BCIT, he learns, listens, and inspires young adults to find peace and hope in Christ and cultivate a group of people who share the love of God. This is going to be so important as they transition from their academic years to the workforce.

Justin says, "There have been so many people in my life who've inspired me to deepen my relationship with God such as my dad, my home church pastors, my campus pastor, and my spiritual friends. What they have in common is that they have invested time in me, whether it's through Bible study groups, lunch meetings, or one-on-one hangouts. In that same model, I believe it is worth investing time in students to form genuine relationships, just like how we build up our relationship with God."

Justin's idea of a good time is Bible journaling in the morning, playing drums and bass guitar during worship, cycling on a sunny afternoon, and spending time with family and friends. He also loves food...all kinds of food.
