Harbor Beach Campus Life

We have many amazing staff at Bluewater Thumb YFC! Here's a look at our Harbor Beach and North Huron Campus Life Director, Jason Gaffke! Jason has been on the Youth for Christ Staff for over a combined 22 years.. Jason grew up on the family farm just a mile from his current home in Port Hope. He is a born and raised local product graduating in 1990 from Port Hope High. After graduating Alma college in 1994. Jason had no plans to move back to the area. But God had other plans. The next 4 years was a time for searching for what his purpose in life was and came to know it through a relationship with his Savior Jesus Christ. But God was just getting started and lead him to be a volunteer with YFC in 1997 attending youth events like Breakfast Club, Loft and trips like Cedar point and the Florida Breakaway Trip!! It was through these interactions with teens that he saw their need for Jesus. This burden led him to come on staff in 1998. He is not alone in his mission to reach hurting teens as he joined by his lovely wife Chalsie of almost 5 years and their son Emmitt who is 1.
