Awana

📙 NEW BOOK!

From Children’s Ministry to Child Discipleship: A Journey to Faith That Lasts is officially here!

What if child discipleship shaped everything you did in children’s ministry? The way you recruit volunteers, choose curriculum, partner with parents, plan events, communicate, lead your team, and even check kids in on Sunday morning?

Written by Sam Luce and Jenny van der Kooy, this new release offers a practical framework for viewing the everyday work of children’s ministry through the lens of child discipleship.

Child Discipleship has changed the conversation. Now it’s time to put it into practice.

This is the first book in the new four-part Pathway to Child Discipleship series, helping churches build ministries intentionally designed to help kids know, love, and follow Jesus for a lifetime.

Available now! 🎉 Learn more at PathwaytoChildDiscipleship.com.

This year, Calvary Bible-Presbyterian Church in Singapore celebrated an incredible milestone: 35 years of Awana Clubs ministry! 🥳

What began on a rainy night with more than 100 kids has grown into a legacy that spans generations. Children who once attended Awana are now serving as leaders, and some are even discipling their own children and grandchildren each week!

Through decades of change, one thing has remained: faithful leaders committed to helping kids know, love and serve Jesus.

We’re so grateful for Calvary Bible-Presbyterian Church and the countless leaders who have faithfully carried this ministry forward for 35 years. 💙

More than FIVE MILLION children across Africa are now being reached with the hope of Jesus through Awana in their schools. 🙌

Four years into the Africa Child & School Initiative, God continues to open doors for biblical discipleship across the continent. Today, Awana discipleship is reaching 5,060,889 children in 12,673 schools, and we’re continuing to see new partnerships and opportunities for the Gospel to emerge.

Stories like Benta’s in Kenya remind us what those numbers really mean. Children are hearing the Gospel, growing in their relationship with God and developing lasting faith in Jesus.

Swipe through for a glimpse at the Summer 2026 Africa Child & School Initiative update, and join us in praying for the children, leaders and communities that are being reached.

A lot of kids come to Awana for the games, the fun and even the awards. But more often, they leave with something far greater.

When Katie faced one of the biggest changes of her young life, the Scripture she had hidden in her heart and the encouragement of faithful leaders helped her trust God through the unknown. The verses she memorized became more than words; they became a firm foundation she could carry wherever life took her.

Thank you for helping children like Katie build a faith they can carry wherever life takes them!
