I am working on organizing the blog more and having focused topics for certain days of the week. This week, I will begin introducing the new organization and what I plan on being the focus of each day and today is the first one.
On Mondays, I will highlight Awana missionaries and their ministry teams. Many do not know what an Awana missionary does and so for an introduction, take a look at the role of the U.S. Awana Missionary. I plan to not only focus on Awana missionaries in the U.S. (and their ministry teams), but to also highlight Awana International . There are many great things being done worldwide and God is using hundreds of people serving as Awana missionaries to do it. My prayer is that with the Monday Missionary Spotlight, more people will learn how God is using several to spread His Word through Awana and how you can be a part of it. The first thing, that many do not know, is that Awana missionaries are 100% faith supported. They need to raise their own support for the ministry and their daily living expenses. Without the support of people joining them in ministry, they would not be able to serve as they do.
So if you know a missionary that you would like to see an article about here (or questions/information to ask) feel free to comment or send me an e-mail with their name and contact info.
If you are not sure who the missionary is for your area, Awana provides the tools needed to find your Awana Missionary and also so you can support your Awana Missionary. The Awana missionary and their ministry team is one of the best resources Awana provides that is often under-utilized.
