Thanks Donors!

It’s Donor Appreciation Week at Awana! We want to make sure every person who blesses Awana with a gift, whether it is once a month or once a year, knows how important they are to the ministry we have around the world.

Today, 2.5 million children in 108 countries say thank you

  • Thank you for providing the resources so that I can hear about God’s love for me.
  • Thank you for a providing training program so my Awana leaders can learn to disciple me and help me grow.
  • Thank you for praying for me!

There is a story behind every gift we receive. These are some of the reasons our partners entrust Awana with their gifts:

“I give because of the impact Awana makes on lives everyday.”

“I give because I know the program works.”

“We give because we believe that God’s Word, learned and hidden in young people’s hearts, will guide them all of their lives.”

“We give in memory of our older son, who we lost at the age of 13.  He absolutely loved Awana and learned to love the Lord through the teaching of the program.”

“I give because I love children and I want to give them a chance to hear the gospel.”

“It is impossible to evaluate the impact of my help to Awana all over the world, but I have to believe it is the most important financial investment I have ever made.”

We are so grateful for each and every one of you, and for each and every gift. We can only echo Paul’s thankfulness:

 I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:36 NIV)

Are you one of the thousands of Awana partners that are helping bring hope to kids around the world? We’d love to hear your story.

Why do you give to Awana?

Thank you, Steph Curry
