Awana

So this week my kids blew me away . I came home from work and my two 4 year old's were reciting bible verses..... Wow. I thought back to what I was doing at 4 ... all I remember is cookies and a lot of drooling. These guys were sharing the verses they had learned in Awana. Abby's was 1 John 4:8 God is Love. and Jeremy's verse was Gen 1:1 God created the heavens and the earth. I can't tell you how much it means to me that the kids are excited about going to church and learning about God ... Awana has become a huge blessing to us .... here's alittle info on Awana ..

Awana helps churches and parents work together to develop spiritually strong children and youth who faithfully follow Jesus Christ. Our programs offer a proven approach for evangelizing and discipline kids in the church and community.
Each week, more than one million kids ages 2 to 18 participate in Awana. Over 12,000 churches in the U.S. and 7,000 internationally run Awana programs to change young lives through God's unchanging truth.

Hi J.D.,
My name is Kim Anderson and I work at Awana headquarters. I just read your blog post and I'm so glad to hear that your kids are enjoying Awana and learning God's Word. That's great! I write stories for the Awana Web site highlighting how God is using the ministry of Awana in the lives of kids and parents. I'd love to hear more of your story. Feel free to contact me at kima@awana.org and maybe we can set up a time to talk!
Blessings,
Kim
