AWANA Children's Ministry Growing!

Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6

Thirty leaders were trained by Charles Ndertu, the AWANA Missionary from Nairobi, at Deliverance Church in Kisumu, Kenya. A few weeks ago 50 children were registered and a waiting list started. By the day of the kick off 120 children were on the list. Many thanks to the Bent Tree Bible Fellowship life group in Texas that sponsored the start up fees for the club. You are storing up great treasures in Heaven!


The joy of the leaders, children and parents experiencing AWANA for the first time was a huge blessing. Several of the men from the men's discipleship group, who went are volunteering as leaders. Even the AWANA commander George was a part of the Kingdom builders group of businessmen.


God is so faithful and so far 114 children are sponsored for the club and parents are paying a percentage of the cost while AWANA International subsidizes the rest. We are trusting the Lord for members of the church to partner with their U.S. brothers and sisters to "top up" for the rest of the children. Once again AWANA began a club from America and it became a Kenyan ministry with the church partnering in support. The AWANA missionary said, "this is going to be a big club because the leadership is really committed." God is creating momentum in this church and being the first AWANA club in the city is an exciting development.
