YWAM NIAGARA

YWAM Niagara began in March of 2020 with a vision to see every person encounter Christ by empowering young people to live their calling, from Niagara Falls to the nations! This vision remains the cornerstone of all our ministry activity in Niagara and the nations.

Our YWAM Niagara mission centre is part of YWAM’s global family of ministries and is located in Niagara Falls Canada. This area, on both sides of the adjacent Canada/USA border, is a destination famous around the world drawing every kind of visitor from absolutely every nation. Niagara Falls is host to a large and diverse population with a deep-rooted history of Christianity that carries on today. However, the majority of Niagara residents and the nations who visit have yet to encounter Christ, the greatest wonder our world has ever known, and God has called us to change that.

TRAINING

Our training programs and courses all centre around knowing God & making Him known. We always pair in-class biblical training with in-the-field missions experience so that you’re empowered to live your calling.

EVANGELISM

We’re called to live the Great Commission in Niagara and the nations, so that all people have an opportunity to encounter Christ. Our prayer is to see new believers worshipping and following Jesus in every nation, tribe and tongue.

OUR TEAM

Our YWAM missionaries are full-time volunteers dedicated to seeing every person encounter Christ by empowering young people to live their calling. We do not receive a salary from YWAM, rather, we are completely dependent on God for our finances, which is most often provided through the generous partnership and support of people like you. Thank you!

YWAM's UofN

YWAM’s UofN operates YWAM’s training courses and degrees world-wide. The UofN was founded in 1976 in Kona, Hawaii with a vision to adequately train Christians in ministering the love of Jesus according to His call to make disciples of all nations, in all areas of society.

Today, The UofN runs over 400 unique courses at more than 600 YWAM mission centres across the globe. Founded upon biblical principles and aligned with YWAM’s purpose, beliefs, and values, the UofN fulfils its commitment to Christ and His Great Commission by equipping men and women with spiritual, cultural, intellectual, and professional training to see them empowered for their calling. Every student in YWAM’s UofN begins with the Discipleship Training School (DTS) which is an adventure that just scratches the surface of our global mission to know God and make Him known.
