We are thankful for the work David is doing in a corporate environment as a workplace chaplain. It is our desire to place more Mission Canada workers in similar environments in our nation, meeting people right where they are and helping them engage life with health and hope.
David Dwarka Urban Centres
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!

Where do your donations go?
Your donation helps Mission Canada as we position David in a workplace chaplaincy environment. A role of this nature is outside of his private counselling practice where there are billable hours that people in need are responsible to pay when they seek out help in times of challenge or crisis. Thank you for partnering with us to make this missional role, and the expenses it can include, possible as we reach beyond the walls of the local church and meet people where they are.
