Ministry Partners

Awana has a long history of developing great-long term discipleship programs. We have been sharing the Gospel and equipping others to share the Gospel for over 65 years. But this does not mean we can effectively serve or reach all people groups. To do that, we need to rely on others that are serving and have expertise in areas we don't.
