AWANA is a program for building the biblical and christian foundations of kids. It stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed. We have started doing AWANA in place of Chapel on Fridays. We start at 12:20, have a 10 minute lesson then 3 groups rotating through 30 minute blocks of games, music, and handbook time. There are 93 students participating from 1st to 8th grade. 1st-4th are SPARKS and the older kids are in TNT, Truth and Training. I am with 3rd and 4th grade, I sub in both classes throughout the day whenever I am needed so I know the kids pretty well, they are a good group, they absolutely loved it. They laughed because I knew the Spanish song Carlos taught them, I don't know why they got a kick out of it but they did #gringopower. Our key verse this week was John 3:16 "For God so loved the world" they will learn the verse in pieces, they memorize it in English and Spanish, and then put their name in the place of "the world" so for me it would be "For God so loved Ethan". They have to memorize those and tell them to us during handbook time. Personally, AWANA is a huge reason for why I am here, it provided a strong foundation in Christ. I am so thankful for the people who led AWANA in our church, especially Ms. Barb, Mr. Scott, and My mom, and knowing the impact that program had on my life makes me so excited that these 93 little kids living in El Doradito, Honduras get to have that same experience.
