WORKSHOPS
Discipleship and Spiritual Growth in Sparks
Bringing about spiritual transformation in younger children won’t just happen. We have to know what the Creator intended, and what it takes to bring about the changes necessary to transform. How do you do this with your younger children? Come learn how to focus on three things to transform the lives of your small group of early elementary kids.
Effectively Reaching Kids with the newest T&T
Has your club already transitioned to the new T&T curriculum? Are you still struggling with the transition? We all need to remember whom we are engaging each week, because your ministry should be centered on the kids, who they are and what they need. Your ministry will be more effective if you understand those you are discipling - this workshop will offer help for your club.
Discipleship: Process. Patience. Purpose.
Discipleship is essential to the Awana ministry, but it’s hard to measure discipleship (and easy to measure handbook completion!) On top of that, it really takes patience to see results! Unpack the process of discipleship with two experts and learn how you can reap a wonderful harvest for God’s glory as you disciple the children in your care.
Sharing the Gospel: Highly Relational, Highly Biblical
The gospel is at the very core and foundation of Awana. As believers, we are called to share the gospel, but we don’t always feel comfortable doing it. Learn from Ed Gossien, VP of US Field Operations for Awana. You will have a chance to get comfortable using your faith story to communicate salvation to children in a way that is highly relational and highly biblical.
Small Groups that Transform Lives
Can you lead a small group of older elementary age kids that transforms their lives into disciples of Jesus? How could this work? Come discover how spiritual transformation is a journey and it looks different for each kid. It is not a list of things you do, but rather a godly relationship you build.
Kids Reaching Kids: GO
How can you teach your kids it’s not all about ‘ME’ ... it’s BIGGER than me?Think you could give your kids a global worldview to live life ‘on mission?’ GO is helping leaders and parents connect kids with what God is doing in Awana around the world. GO has tools to create new energy and excitement in your club for sure!

Terms & Conditions: Since Awana is a faith supported ministry, we as missionaries do not use gift funds to provide training events. Each event must stand on its own finances.
Cancellations: If an event is cancelled by the Missionary, a full refund will be issued. If you cancel your registration up to 14 days prior to the actual event, you can choose to receive a full refund or have the amount applied to another date of the same event. Registrations cancelled less than 14 days prior to the event are non-refundable due to expenses already incurred for that event
