If you are unfamiliar with AWANA, it is a scripture memorization program for kids. Thanks to the great folks at Lakepointe Church Jennifer was able to partner with our teammate Randi, and started the first AWANA club in Serbia. Kyleigh, Michaela, Brooke and Kyle memorized almost 100 scriptures between the four of them in the past school year. They met every Sunday evening and the ladies worked with them on their scripture. They also studied different cultures around the world increasing their knowledge of the nations. My kids have done some amazing things in the past 2 plus years, but working hard to hide the word of God in their heart will be the thing that pushes them through life events more than anything they learn as we live abroad. Although Jen and Randi did the bulk of the work, it was my great pleasure to practice verses throughout the week and listen to scripture come to life for my daughters.
In true Randi and Jen fashion we had an AWANA banquet this past week to celebrate the kids. We had international cuisine (spaghetti, fortune cookies, tres leches cake) and Jen decorated the house (see pictures below). The young people (anyone without kids) dressed up in costumes from different cultures.
