I’ve partnered with a local church-planting movement in Austria called LIFE Church, which is working toward planting a church in every city in the nation. I’ve joined as the worship pastor of their international church in Vienna. Alongside this role, I’ll be actively involved in outreach events, discipleship courses, occasional preaching, and launching men’s Bible studies and discipleship groups to help the congregation grow deeper in their faith. Through my work in media, I am passionate about capturing and sharing what God is doing around the world through cinematography, photography, and journalism. My mission is to tell the transformational stories of God’s work through His people—to inspire others to give, go, or start something new in their own communities.

Prayer Requests:

• For open doors to tell the stories of what God is doing among unreached people groups
• For health and ongoing support as I manage epilepsy
• For provision and perseverance for the work ahead

With these sobering facts in hand, we have begun planting churches, developing discipleship programs, teaching anger management courses to address domestic violence in families, leading Bible teaching in the homes, and developing a feeding program for impoverished individuals.

The Pentecostal church in Argentina is growing rapidly with over 5,000 established churches.

Despite such widespread growth, Argentina Assemblies of God has only three Bible colleges to train students for ministry.

In response to this, I, along with my wife Cecilia, am returning to Argentina, my country of birth, to become the president of the Instituto Bíblico Mediterráneo, in the city of Córdoba. Due to certain circumstances, the ministry school has seen a significant decline in student attendance. My desire is to infuse new life into the school and provide fresh vision that is missional in focus.

I want to help develop a culture that focuses on sending missionaries from Argentina to especially restricted access countries and to train church leaders to plant more churches throughout Latin America and beyond.

I will also be seeking to establish lasting relationships with church leaders throughout the province of Córdoba, to stress the need for formal theological education.

Ministry Location: Niagara Region, ON
Ministry Focus:     Cultural Ministry

For eight years, this Mission Canada worker was engaged in full-time ministry in the Middle East as a missionary, pastor, and refugee worker. Upon returning to Canada, they were struck by the large number of refugees arriving in Canada from the Middle East and resettling in the Niagara and Hamilton areas.

This worker will be engaging with those of various cultures, running English classes, making personal visits and planning outings for newcomers. They will help in meeting the practical needs of families who have had to leave their country and come to another nation with nothing but the clothes on their back. Household items are needed, appointments must be made for setting up health cards and connecting with those in the medical and dental professions. There are times when trauma counselling is beneficial. And, helping a newcomer find their way through a Canadian grocery store can be quite challenging as well.

While living in the Middle East, this family was shown the most amazing hospitality. Now, back in Canada, they will open their home and heart to extend that same type of welcoming hospitality.

Ministry Location: Hamilton, ON
Ministry Focus:     Cultural Ministry

After 10 years of both volunteer and full-time engagement in missions with the PAOC, this mission worker has returned to Canada to take the next step in God’s calling on their life: to reach the unreached.

Our nation receives hundreds of thousands of people each year from all over the world, many of whom come from places where the gospel has very little presence. They may have never even interacted with a believer before I their lives! Now, here in Canada, we have the amazing opportunity to reach not only them, but also open a door to reaching their families and friends back in their home nations through them, with the good news of Jesus!

Mission Canada is excited to have a cultural worker in Hamilton, a key area in Southern Ontario where the immigration population is experiencing growth. As this worker takes every opportunity to build relationships with those who are new to the area and develop friendships, the love of Jesus will shine through their godly character, their warm and kind ways, as well as their helpful acts of service and genuine gift of hospitality.

MISSION CANADA URBAN WORKER
Ministry Location: Ontario
Ministry Focus: Urban Ministry

The focus of David Dwarka’s work is to provide spiritual and mental health support to employees in a workplace environment. As Mission Canada was praying about who could take over this opportunity to serve as a workplace chaplain, a role that was begun by a previous Mission Canada worker, David is the perfect person to step in to fill the gap… and this corporate setting is right in David’s hometown of Burlington, Ontario.

As a licensed mental health professional and an ordained minister with the PAOC, workplace chaplaincy provides David with the opportunity to engage with people in two area of life that he values – their mental health and their spiritual wellbeing.

David knows the importance of reaching people right where they are, leaning into everyday conversations and interactions with a listening and supportive ear. With over ten years of ministry experience, he knows that it is often in moments of crisis that people realize the need to confidentially welcome someone into their challenging situations and troubling thoughts. Wellness and wholeness can result when wise counsel is intentionally sought out and occurs in a safe place and space. And when it does, home and family life improve, social relationships strengthen, and workplace challenges often lessen.

David values being able to journey with people, providing encouragement, empathetic listening, and being a sounding board for life’s many challenges. David’s heart is to help people discover what he has come to understand throughout his life: That God not only loves people, but He is interested in the details of their everyday life. David desires to see people living to the full, as God intended (John 10:10).

Mission Canada is thankful for workers who are welcomed into corporate workplace settings to engage employees in their time of need. Because, in that environment, everyone wins!

MISSION CANADA CAMPUS WORKER

Ministry Location: 

Humber College, Toronto, ON

Ministry Focus:    

Campus Ministry

Picture this: a diverse community of 25,000 people. Young, passionate students with big aspirations, all training for professional vocations. Many will become influential leaders, aiming to shape the fabric of our society in the coming years. 25,000 students… thinking, learning, setting the trajectory for the rest of their lives.

In 2008, Mission Canada appointed its first missionary to this largely unreached community: Humber College in Toronto, ON. With excitement, Trevor planted The Embassy at Humber.

Since then, Trevor’s aim has been to help students discover hope, purpose and life to its fullest (John 10:10) through the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Embassy exists to make mature, devoted disciples of Jesus and to equip them to help bring the transformation of God’s kingdom to their school, residences, and future workplace.

We believe that the years between 18-24 are some of the most formative in a person’s development, and we are passionate about discipling students through this crucial stage of their lives.

The Embassy exists for two primary reasons:

1. To provide opportunities for believing students to gather regularly for fellowship and intentional discipleship. At The Embassy, students are equipped to be able to defend what they believe (i.e. 1 Peter 3:15) even while they navigate the secular school environment. Although studies show that large numbers of Christian young people walk away from faith during post-secondary, we are actively working to reverse these statistics.

2. To provide opportunities for non-believing students to explore the Christian faith, ask questions, and experience firsthand the love and grace of a gospel-centred community. We believe that the Christian faith can hold its own in the marketplace of ideas and has incredible explanatory power for the “big” questions of life (“Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going?”). We also believe that it’s only through a relationship with Jesus Christ that the deepest desires of the human heart can truly find satisfaction.

We believe that our Canadian colleges and universities represent mission fields that require missionaries. Would you partner with us for the gospel at Humber?
