Meet Your Staff
Mark & Jerrylin Jurgeneit
Base Directors
Mark and Jerrilyn completed their DTS in Kona, Hawaii in 2006. Since then, they’ve staffed at the Kona base and were directors of the Te Ao Maramara base in Auckland, New Zealand before returning to their home in Muskoka. In 2012, they fulfilled a word from the Lord by launching YWAM Muskoka.
Mark and Jerrylin carry a family atmosphere and discipleship style wherever they go. They lead by example, have a passion for worship, business, seeing the nations discipled and to help the lost find their tribe.
Mark and Jerrilyn have two grown sons, a beautiful daughter-in-law and a super cute granddaughter.
Bob and Kimberly Wahl
Senior Leaders
Bob & Kimberly Wahl have come alongside the YWAM Muskoka base from its beginning. They have 7 children, three daughters-in-law, two sons-in-law, and 8 grandchildren.
Kim did her DTS at the Tyler, Texas base in 1986 and Bob completed his DTS at the same base in 1989 when they were newlyweds.
Bob and Kim's passion is to see people walk in freedom and wholeness in God as He leads them through the transformational journey of "head to heart" during DTS.
Bob and Kim have a heart for family and know that 'family' isn't always blood. God continues to expand their family in the communities they live and grow together with.

Senior Leader
Amanda Isaacs is from Six Nations, Ontario.
She completed her DTS at the first YWAM Muskoka in 2014 and has been on staff since then. She is a nurturing spirit, whose home-cooked food and "kitchen talks" warm the heart and nourish the soul. A deep well and a listening heart.
Amanda has a heart for the nations and longs to see every generation walk in their healing and freedom that is found in Christ.
John and Hannah Kim
DTS School Leaders
John and Hannah did their DTS at YWAM Muskoka in 2018 and began staffing the year after. They left South Korea to follow God's calling.
John is called to be a worshiper and has a gift for serving and teaching people. Hannah is called to be an intercessor of prayer, and through her prayers, she changes the atmosphere in her surroundings. They have a heart for the next generation, trained as warriors with a God-given vision to go out into the world and make an impact in their respective areas. They are ready to go wherever God tells them to go with an obedient heart.
