About Us
Grace Ambassadors World Outreach Ministry (GAWOM)
Grace Ambassadors World Outreach Ministry (GAWOM) is a Calgary-based, faith-rooted registered charity dedicated to advancing dignity, equity, and opportunity for everyone in our community. Guided by Christian values of compassion, justice, and radical inclusion, we walk alongside newcomers, immigrants, and refugees from all over the world as they build their lives in Canada.
We exist to bridge the gap between spiritual formation and practical social support, ensuring people are nurtured spiritually and empowered socially, emotionally, and economically. Rooted in Christian values of love, dignity, and service, we operate as a hub for worship, education, and compassionate outreach.
We are deeply committed to removing barriers to integration and fostering a welcoming environment for diverse families. By building strong cross-cultural partnerships with local non-profits, schools, and civic organizations, we provide a holistic network of care. Our support ranges from language navigation and integration assistance to mental health resources, family and parenting support, and basic-needs distribution for economically disadvantaged individuals, seniors, and vulnerable women.
Ultimately, our goal is to promote cross-cultural understanding and contribute to a more equitable, connected Calgary where every person has the opportunity to thrive.
