Changes Within Langley YU
As of February 18th, Langley
welcomed Jon Pue into the role of Area Director. Danny Ferguson has faithfully
served as Langley Area Director for 15 years and is beginning a new role within
Greater Vancouver Youth Unlimited as the Community Engagement Coordinator. He
will continue to work one day per week in Langley as a Youth Worker.
For those of you who don’t know me, I’m
Jon. I’ve been working alongside Danny, Megan, Derian, and Amy for the last 5
years as a youth worker here in Langley. I’m a family man, a lover of story,
laughter, and fun. I was called into Youth Ministry at 19 and wanted to shape
my life after the Man who found the poor and others on the outside and brought
them life. I was able to live out this calling to bring hope and potential to
young people here in Langley at Youth Unlimited.
This month I’m stepping into the role of
Area Director. I have been humbled by the support and
encouragement shown to me from Greater Vancouver Youth Unlimited, the Langley team, family, friends, and the community. After the time that I’ve invested into young people here, there is honestly no other place that I would rather be. I love our teenagers here, I love our city, and I can’t wait to see what God is going to do with us in all the years ahead.

So much of what we do in connecting youth
and transforming lives is based around us providing safe spaces. Whether that’s
out for coffee, sitting next to a teenager at lunch, having a safe space for
teens at their school, or being next to them in a hospital bed. All that we do
can be defined by bringing this safe space and presence to vulnerable youth.
This space allows teens to grow in every aspect of their life because it
assures them that they are loved and connected to someone who cares.
So, what will these spaces look like over
the next few years? Well, I’m not sure, but I do look forward to walking
alongside you to find out.
Thanks for journeying with us,
Jon Pue
