Our hope is that
each clubber
will be able to earn a badge by raising
$6 or more. Please encourage each child that for every $6 they bring,
it will enable another child
to attend Oansa
club. If we reach our goal of $35,000,
over 5500 children will learn about Jesus.
Letter to Commanders and Leaders:
Last year Awana ran a successful campaign for Cuba, raising $45,000 to purchase
a reliable vehicle for our Cuban missionary Abner. Through that project, clubs were able to teach children about missions
and helping others. Thank you so much for all your efforts and generosity. This campaign was well
received across
Canada and many have been asking
what our project will be this year. Because
of this and Oansa Guatemala’s great need, we are
presenting clubs with the opportunity to participate in the Holla for Guatemala
Campaign.
This year we are partnering with Food for the Hungry Canada
(FH Canada). FH Canada is dedicated to ending poverty one community at a time. In order to eradicate
poverty and
create sustainability, they use an integrated approach including projects in agriculture, education, health, leadership and gender equality in an effort
to meet the physical, spiritual, social and educational needs of the people. FH has asked Awana to assist them with the spiritual element, helping them bring the message
of hope that is found in knowing Jesus, to the children of Guatemala.
What if you could help your clubbers catch the vision of many lives being
changed for eternity? Could it possibly spur even these young ones on to do more for God’s Kingdom?
Could they see children their own age entering heaven because they decided in their hearts to raise a few dollars? This year, funds
raised will be used for reaching
children in communities in Guatemala where
leaders are being
trained and equipped
to evangelize and provide long-term discipleship to the children, just as you are doing.
For the Cuba Car Campaign we had 3 different badges.
This year we will be having only one
badge. It will be up to each Commander
as to how your clubbers earn their badge. It could
be based on individual or a group effort. Our hope is that each clubber
will be able to earn a
badge by raising $6 or more. Please encourage
each child that for every
$6 they bring,
it will enable another
child to attend Oansa club. If we
reach our goal
of
$35,000, over 5500
children will learn about Jesus.
Awana’s primary focus is to make sure that all children and youth will come to know, love and serve
Jesus Christ. God can and will use us for His mighty purposes
and we hope that you will
join us in this effort.
Blessings to each of you,
