John Neufeld

As the son of refugee parents who fled from the former Soviet Union, Dr. John Neufeld was born in Canada and came to Christ at the age of 18. Dr. Neufeld describes his coming to Christ in the following way: “The vast cultural difference between my home and church on the one hand, and the wider Canadian culture created a sense of dissonance in me. I was not sure which culture to identify with. After a long struggle, Christ met me and claimed me as His own.”
