I am outside CAIS, how can I find the AWANA group?

When you are outside CAIS, find the gate B (on the left hand side)

Then walk straight to the security desk (our AWANA secretaries will be there)

Parents, please get your name badges from the secretaries. (and remember to return your badges to the secretaries when you leave) Then take the elevator to the 2nd floor and walk through the door after you get off the elevator. We are right there.

Awana is an international evangelical Christian nonprofit organization, which operates as a parachurch ministry to provide churches with evangelism and discipleship resources for children and youth.

The name “AWANA” is an acronym derived from the Bible verse 2 Timothy 2:15: “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed,” which reflects its emphasis on equipping children and young people to understand and live out their Christian beliefs. AWANA was started by Lance Latham and Art Rorheim in the 40’s in US and now has expanded globally, partnering with more than 60,000 churches in over 100 countries，reaching out to millions of children annually. In HK, Awana clubs began in 1998 and today there are more than 100 clubs in operation and AIC is one of the few that cater for the English speaking community. Clubbers are motivated with pins, badges, shares and award recognitions.

Our program is from 2-4pm on Saturdays from mid Sept to end of May. Weekly club format is as follows:

1. **Game Time** – high-energy and fun team-building games

2. **Handbook Time** – small-group Scripture memorization and real-life applications

3. **Council Time** – large group Bible lessons, craftwork, missionary stories and songs

AIC has the following clubs to suit different age groups:

• 3-4 yrs Cubbies
• 5-7 yrs Sparks
• 8-11 yrs Truth & Training (T & T)

Two ways:

A. If you are not sure if AWANA is for your child, come visit us first. (see the calendar below for our meeting dates)

No matter which way you take, please inform Danny at 93037383 (whatsapp or call) so that we can make arrangements accordingly.

Are you looking for a meaningful way to make a difference in kids’ lives or to serve Jesus? Awana is calling on youth/adult volunteers to step into the role of leaders and helpers—and we believe you have something unique to offer, no matter your background or skills.

At Awana, we’re all about guiding kids to grow in faith, friendship, and joy—and that takes a village of hearts ready to serve. We need people with all kinds of talents: storytellers who can bring Bible truths to life with warmth and wonder; organized souls who’ll keep track of attendance and progress with care; game leaders who can turn a field or classroom into a space for laughter and teamwork; craft enthusiasts who’ll help little hands create something special to take home; song leaders who can get everyone singing (even off-key!) to celebrate; and snack makers who know that a simple treat can make a kid’s day brighter. Whether you’re a pro at one of these or just willing to learn, your effort will leave a mark.

If you follow Jesus, your heart for Him will shine through in how you love these kids as their leaders. And if you’re not, you can still serve as a helper to assist the leaders. What counts is a genuine desire to care for children: to listen to their stories, cheer on their small wins, and show them they’re valued. Whether your motivation is to serve Jesus or simply to pour love into young lives, you belong here.

No experience? No problem! Our team and AWANA Hong Kong will provide training and support for every role.

Kids thrive when they’re surrounded by mentors who choose to show up—people who bring their unique selves, their energy, and their kindness. Could that be you? Come be part of a team where every skill, every smile, and every willing heart helps kids grow.

Join us in shaping the next generation—one story, one game, one craft, one song, one snack, and one act of love at a time. We can’t wait to welcome you. Just complete this form or contact Danny (93037383) to learn more.
