Campusfire exists to train, equip and support students who want to see Christ Love transform their school.
Our Team
Jason Ballard, Director
Jason has been involved with campusfire since he was a grade 9 student in high school. While he was in high school Jason and his friends met weekly to pray on Wednesday mornings before school. As a team they led several outreaches including Quest and Exploring Christianity. Today, Jason is 22 years old. He lives in Langley, BC with his wife Rachael. In 2009 Jason graduated from SFU with a degree in English Literature and he has recently started a Masters program in Christian Studies at ACTS Seminary. It is his passion to see students living out their faith in the midst of culture and to encourage them lead their friends to Jesus.

Our Home
Campusfire is based out of Vancouver, BC. In January of 2010 campusfire became an associate ministry of “City In Focus”, a Vancouver based non-profit which acts as an umbrella ministry for over 10 non-profits. City In Focus provides accountability and support and enables campusfire to exist with low overhead so that more resources can be devoted to training and empowering students to impact their school.
“We at City in Focus are excited to welcome campusfire into the family. I was on the board of Canada Fire Ministries for years and watched it grow and influence and impact campus and youth ministries across Canada. I am most excited about campusfire’s ability to neutrally gather together young leaders who are involved in different campus groups. I know that much of campusfire’s work is behind the scenes and am thankful to know young people are networking and growing together to work for the greater Good. We are excited to provide the proper infrastructure needed for this movement to continue to grow and serve students and leaders in Vancouver, BC and across the country. Please join me in supporting and encouraging leaders of the future such as Jason Ballard as he directs this exciting ministry. Vancouver and our country needs more young leaders like this who are willing to step up and out in faith.”

“We know that campusfire with it’s new vision and new leadership will bring a Gospel focused energy and resource to young people in our country. We pray along with them that students across the country will be equipped to share their faith and people will come to faith in their schools.”
