Harvey Rempel

Harvey Rempel grew up in Winnipeg and first began building relationships with at-risk & gang-involved youth while volunteering at an inner-city drop-in centre during the mid-90's – where he eventually met his wife, Rhonda. After interning in Detroit with World Impact and spending time exploring cities throughout the U.S., he prayed for a community he could move into, learn from, commit to, and grow to love and serve. Harvey holds an M.A. in Intercultural Mission from Fresno Pacific University - Biblical Seminary and first started ministering in Winnipeg’s North End in 2000. He has been serving as a Community Minister with Inner City Youth Alive since 2006, often walking alongside gang-involved youth and their families. Harvey and his wife Rhonda have also been learning the joys & challenges of raising their two children (aged 15 & 17) in the inner city. He also loves photography, reading, film, and listening to/collecting music.
