WHAT IS YWAM?

Youth With A Mission, or YWAM, is a global movement of Christians from every age, culture, and Christian tradition all driven by a passion to know God and make Him known. YWAM was started in 1960 by Loren Cunningham with a vision to see waves of young people reaching every continent with the Gospel.

Now 60+ years on, YWAM has over 18,000 missionaries at 1,300 mission centres reaching every country on earth. We're all connected like a family, rather than a centralized agency, and are collectively dedicated to seeing every person encounter Christ, to training and empowering Christians for their God-given missional calling, and mobilizing as many as possible for this Great Commission! All of our ministry activity falls under 3 main callings; Training, Mercy, and Evangelism. Through these, we desire to see God's transformation in every area of society.

STUDY

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.

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. 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 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.

JOIN MISSIONARY STAFF

We're a community of passionate Jesus followers who would love to have you in Niagara with us. Join our team and make it your mission to see every person encounter Christ and every Christian empowered to live their calling.
