VOCATIONAL MISSIONS UPDATE Here at Spring Garden we support several local missionaries.

Each month we will be highlighting a different missionary so that you can hear about how they are serving God. This month we hear from Scott Moore. Scott serves Youth Unlimited as its Executive Director in the CEO role. He is responsible for the strategic direction of the organization, as well as leadership, team and resource development. Central to his responsibilities, Scott provides spiritual leadership to YU, caring for the well-being of his staff as they reach out to the young people of the GTA. You can learn more about YU by visiting the YU website at www.yugta.ca.

Tell us about YU and how long you have served with them.

Youth Unlimited has been reaching young people in Toronto for more than 75 years. What started as large rallies in Massey Hall has adapted over the years to have become what we are today - grassroots initiatives partnering with local churches and organizations across the city. We currently have 61 active initiatives, a staff team of over 70 and more than 300 volunteers.

We are rooted in the person, teachings and work of Jesus as we bring wholistic care to young people through long-term mentoring relationships.

I have been serving with YU since February 2008 and am grateful to have been a missionary of Spring Garden for all my time! I was YU’s North York Area Director for 5 years and have been serving as Executive Director for over 8 years now. My role is to bring strategic and spiritual leadership to the organization How did you receive your call to serve as a missionary?

I was living in Victoria and was planning to build a life on the west coast in business after a career as a national team athlete.
