I admit it – I am a purist. I used to be more so…but I definitely still
have those tendencies. When I was a kid
it is was like unto heresy to even think of having AWANA anytime but Wednesday
night. And then we found a church that
had AWANA on Sunday nights and that became okay – because who doesn’t want to
go to AWANA twice a week, hello! Then it
was Thursdays nights…and now, here in Bangladesh, Friday mornings, after church.
It is so exciting to see AWANA going on over here. The one we attended was grades 1-8 in one
club. I wish our clubs could play games
together! I really couldn’t understand
anything but I still had a rough idea of what was going on. We sang songs (all with motions!), listened
to a lesson, and broke into small groups by age. Instead of using individual books, the
leader has the book and teaches the lesson.
This decreases cost which is paramount here.
So much fun! The kids
are awesome. Oh, and Blue Team won! Go blue!
How awesome!
