AWANA Supplement Content Page
Hello Awana Churches!
Welcome to this October, 2018 update to the ABSCs Awana Missions Supplement. Sparks and T&T books have a few references to missions, and the purpose of this page is to help you add a Southern Baptist slant to those. Please send this to your Awana leaders - they can use the resources below to help children with the missions lessons in the Awana handbooks. Feel free to bookmark and/or print this page. From time to time we'll add more content.
Is your church partnered with a church planter/missionary in Arkansas, North America, or internationally? If not, we can help you with names.
- Email them for their pictures (with family if applicable).
-
Teach children to pray: each week, your leaders can use a minute or two to pray for missions and for the lost during your large group time. You can use this as an opporitunity to build an awareness of ACTS 1:8.
1st meeting of the month, prayer for your "Jerusalem" - you city/town/local area.
2nd meeting of the month, pray for an Arkansas church planter;
3rd meeting of the month, pray for a church planter in North America;
4th meeting of the month, pray for an international missionary.
If your church does not have state, North American, or Inernational Parters, we'd be happy to connect you with a church planter/missionary looking for prayer parnters. Email MissionsSupplement@absc.org
