"And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who should be able to teach others also." (2 Timothy 2:2)

To introduce the ministry of Awana to local churches, and to be a servant in helping them have a greater impact on their communities – helping our "churches and parents raise children and youth to know, love and serve the Lord Jesus Christ."

We now have over 300 Awana churches in the Tennessee Valley alone! We’re reaching over 20,000 children and teenagers with almost 4,500 Awana leaders. We have averaged nearly 20 to 30 new ministries each year for the last several years. We’ve had our area divided three times because of the growth of the ministry.

George Barna has determined that 80% of all salvation decisions are made by people between the ages of 4 & 14 years old and by the time a child reaches 13 years old his beliefs, priorities, and character are pretty well etched in stone. That makes our ministry to children the most important ministry in the local church, yet many churches still do not make children a priority! If there is any hope to change America, that hope lies in changing our children.

That all children and youth throughout the world will come to know, love and serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
