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.
TRAINING
MERCY
EVANGELISM
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.
YWAM’s University of the Nations (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.
