The acronym Awana comes from the first letters of the phrase “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed” (II Timothy 2:15).
Awana is a world-wide nonprofit ministry focused on providing Bible-based evangelism and discipleship solutions for children. Awana gives children the opportunity to know, love and serve Jesus.
Awana 这个字来自於提摩太后书2:15:「你当竭力,在神面前得蒙喜悦,『作无愧的工人』『Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed』)
Awana 取自上述经文的首个字母,以教导孩子作「无愧的工人」为宗旨。Awana 是一个国际性、超宗派、以圣经为基础、以基督为中心的儿童及青少年事工。参与的教会承诺並签署Awana事工合约,按照由Awana所提供之教材,有系统 地实践计划,透过圣经教导、游戏及奖励,让孩童及青少年在欢乐中认识、热爱及服事主耶穌基督。
