Awana Commander College 101 and 201 will be held at Southwestern Baptist Theogical Seminary, Fort Worth, TX March 12-14, 2009. This is a wonderful 3 days of training and encouragement for your Awana Commander. If you have never attended Commander College you need to register for 101.

At Commander College 101 we cover the 5 Major Hats of a Commander; Advocate, Leader, Shepherd, Administrator and Communicator.

Pastors, consider investing in your Commander who will guide your Awana Club to even greater effectiveness.

You can register online at www.Awana.org/commandercollege

 

As we develop the ministry in Texas we are realizing that we need a state office in Texas from which to coordinate our ministry, in this the biggest state for Awana. Please pray as we are in the early stages of searching for a suitable property that would become the first in the nation, Texas State Office. As we move ahead we also have the need for donations to help fund the state ministry. If you would like to be a blessing by giving of your resources to help us build the ministry of Awana in Texas, please send your gift to:
Awana Clubs International
One East Bode Road
Streamwood, IL 60107

Please designate your gift for the Texas State Ministry Account # 701.

Our goal is that our Texas team of Missionaries will also be partially supported from these funds. Please support your local church first, and then if God leads consider a gift of whatever amount to the Texas ministry. If God leads you to give the "widows mite", praise the Lord! We also will rejoice over the larger gifts as well. It's not the size of the gift, but the heart that says, "I love you Lord." and gives to His work that is important.

If you have questions please contact me, Brad Iverson, and I will be happy to answer your questions. These are exciting days for the ministry of Awana in Texas! 

Has God called you to serve Him full time with your life? Do you have a passion to see children and youth brought to Jesus Christ? Have you ever prayed and wondered if God might use you as an Awana Missionary? We currently need about 15 more Awana Missionaries in the Lone Star State. I would love to talk and pray with you about this wonderful opportunity to serve the Lord with your life. Drop me an email with your phone number, and we can discuss the opportunities, the requirements and the process of this life changing step. God does desire to use you. Will you say, "Here am I Lord, send me"?

We currently need:

Missionary of Development (works in helping churches to start Awana)

Missionary of Church Care ( serves existing Awana churches in training and encouragemnt)

Missionary of Outreach ( raises, trains and coordinates volunteers to do Awana events)
