Look at the juxtaposition of these two pics. The govt. of Central African Republic (former "child soldiers" country) turned to @Awana for help. The Sec. of Edu. wants Awana in ALL of their elementary public schools. The pic on the right is a training that took place yesterday.
Discipleship in the children's wing of the church might be a little bit more fun than "adult church", but its spiritual impact is timeless, grounded in the gospel of Jesus.
@c_neighbors Congratulations! The benefits of scripture memory knows no age. Thankful for you!
@Markins after 32 years, I finally was given the opportunity to finish the final verse for the first Sparks book!
Thank you, Matt, so much for this last chance to get my final green jewel!
โAnd the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son, from the Father, full of grace and truth.โ
(John 1:14 ESV)
The message of the Gospel is living and active, and
itโs being shared in spiritually persecuted countries
by courageous brothers and sisters in Christ. We
praise God that over 1.1 million kids are being
discipled just in South Asia.
Awana Ukraine has continued to run clubs and camps across Ukraine and neighboring countries, reaching more than 25,000 children displaced by the war.
"But Jesus looked at them and said, โWith man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.โ
(Matthew 19:26 ESV)
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."
(Proverbs 3:5-6)
Discipling millions starts with one.
Millions of children in the U.S. and around the globe silently wait for someone to show them that the love of Jesus is real and alive. Will you be the one to show them?

"The secular vision of utopia is completely failing our children. Now is the time for the church to share the Gospel with clarity and urgency. The Gospel not only gives kids eternal hope, but also gives them a fulfilling vision to experience abundant life on earth.โ
