Your Missionary Team
The state of Arkansas is served by two families. Each family serves specific functions; coordinating efforts to support existing churches, train Awana volunteers, and develop Awana clubs in new churches.
Each missionary family raises funds to support their ministry and living expenses. If you are interested in making a contribution, please visit their Partner and Support page by selecting a missionary from this menu
What We Do
