My Week 2/6/2021-2/27/2021

 

Online Bible Quizzing- It was great to see kids from our ministry area engaging in online Bible Quizzing. Thank you to West Coast Honor Camp and their entire team for putting on this wonderful event.

I had the opportunity to set up an information table for weekend services at Summit Christian Church in Sparks, NV as one of their "highlighted ministries". So much fun to engage with their church members and share with them about our ministry so that Awana is seen not as a "program", but as a ministry of the church that evangelizes and disciples the children and families in their community. 

What a beautiful drive south along the Eastern Sierra of California to Bishop, CA. I had the opportunity to meet with and share meals with pastors along my way and back. 

Great to see some old friends and meet new ones at Calvary Baptist Church in Bishop, CA. Although CBC has had Awana for over 40 years, they started mid year due to Covid. Thank you to Mary Matlick and Tammie Hovet for your passion for kids and your creativity in getting the ministry up and running again. 

I was notified by Awana that a new club started at Grace Baptist Church in Fernley, NV. I had breakfast with Pastor Rick Lynn from GBC several years ago and have corresponded with him over this time. Great to see this club take root in Fernley. 
Club visit at Sierra Bible Church in Reno. What a great team AMD Christy Cronk has put together. Enjoyed the opportunity to come and visit with the kids and leaders. I was even asked to give a "missionary message" to the Sparks. 

Ice Cream Sundae Night at my home church, Sierra Bible Church- Truckee. AMD Ben Lyhne and the Journey students scoop up "The longest ice cream Sundae in Truckee". I love to watch the look in a Cubbie or Sparkies eyes as they watch this ice cream sundae being brought into the building.
Made a trip out to Fallon, NV to see old friends at Parkside Bible Fellowship. Here is AMD Carl Lunderstadt sharing the large group message with the T&T club. Later in the night, he also shares the message with the Sparkies. 
We are working with Awana missionaries from Alaska to Georgia and reconnecting with  pastors of churches who've dropped Awana over the years and asking them if they might be interested in taking a fresh look at our ministry and how it can benefit their church. There are over 3,000 churches that we are working at reengaging with.
