    Last year, we did a missions-focused lesson the first Wed. of each month using a video series I found, Missions Explorers DVD, available at http://www.kidstalkaboutGod.org. (By the way, it is awesome and even shows Awana clubs in other countries they visit! Our kids loved it.)

    This year, I’ve set apart the last Wednesday of January to introduce and “talk up” our Missions Month of February. The Awana Go! materials are excellent! I can’t wait to see more. I am grateful to Awana for providing this to us, free of charge.

    We’ll be able to talk about being missionaries in our own backyard with a special Bring-A-Friend night and an opportunity for them to donate new toys & DVDs for us to send to a Children’s Hospital in our area. We’ll be able to talk about what the 10/40 window is and how missionaries are at work there. Our kids will be given a chance on the next store night in March to purchase items to add to our donations for the hospital. At the end of last year on our last store night, we gave them the option to donate their points towards buying Bibles and gospel tracts for missionaries in Asia. Many of our leaders matched their donations & the kids were so excited to see how many Bibles & tracts they were able to supply. Our club also provided 1 year’s support for a student at a special Christian school in Thailand. This year, we hope to provide support for 2 students, a boy and a girl.

    I hope we’re demonstrating to them the many ways we can share the gospel with others. I pray that God works through us in helping to equip this generation to know Him, love Him, and serve Him to His glory. Awana is definitely partnering with us in this endeavor!
