Wild About AWANA

I (Mark), still in Kenya, spoke briefly by telephone with Margaret, who still is in Uganda starting an AWANA children's club with the team and teaching church leaders through the Book of Nehemiah.

She reported the AWANA kickoff in Kibale exceeded expectations. Prestonwood Church in Dallas had provided funding to start a club of 50 children. When David, the Uganda AWANA coordinator, offered the church members in Kabale the opportunity to sponsor additional children at a reduced cost (underwritten by AWANA International), the congregation responded by sponsoring an additional 60 children!

So the first AWANA meeting in Kibale was for 110 children. Praise God. Margaret also said David commented that the leadership in Kabale is the strongest he has worked with in launching a new AWANA club.
