Lead Project Manager Jobs in Ontario (NOW HIRING)

WHO WE ARE

Our roots stretch back to 1911, when we were founded in Canada as an evangelism and Scripture distribution ministry led by a national membership of volunteers. Over the decades our ministry has broadened to inviting women and men of all vocations to share the gospel with innovative new Scripture resources alongside local church partners. In 2015, ShareWord Global was launched to help expand the work in more regions within Canada and around the world.

ShareWord Global (SWG) is a ministry committed to engaging the global Church to do one simple thing: go! Our mission is to ignite and fuel a passion in people’s hearts to share the gospel—training and equipping them, as a community of believers, to effectively introduce people to Jesus through God’s Word. SWG fuels the movement to “go!” and reach more people with the gospel through relational evangelism and training, innovative Scripture resources, and by partnering with local churches worldwide.

WHAT WE DO

Through partnerships with local church and other like-minded ministries, we equip Christians of all nations with evangelism training and Scripture materials, so they can feel more empowered to share the gospel in their communities. We ignite and fuel a passion in people’s hearts to share the gospel as a community of believers. Because together, we can tell the world.

OUR MISSION

We are committed to growing a community of Christians, unleashed to share the Good News of Jesus Christ through a combination of training, Scripture resources, and outreach opportunities.

OUR VISION

Until the Good News that was shared with us, is shared with all.
