LTRP Note:<\/strong> Lighthouse Trails has had concerns about the direction Awana may be heading for a number of years. This letter (of which we substantiated the contents -see added links) below gives further reason to continue those concerns. Below this letter, you can see links to a few articles we have previously posted about Awana. Are we saying that everything in Awana is bad now and all children should be removed? No, but we are saying that parents need to be watching closely what their children are being taught at Awana; and Awana leaders need to use discernment as well. Unfortunately, as with most organizations we have researched, false teaching comes in through top leadership and does eventually affect an entire organization and its members (in this case children).<\/p>\n

\"\"Dear Lighthouse Trails:<\/strong><\/p>\n

My family has been involved with the Awana ministry for almost 20 years both as \u201cclubbers\u201d and leaders.<\/p>\n

Awana came out with new junior high curriculum. I reviewed one of the books and was not happy. The high school level curriculum too is in the process of being re-written<\/a> with the help of a man named Josh Griffin. Josh Griffin<\/a> is the high school pastor for Rick Warren\u2019s Saddleback Church. Griffin is associated with Doug Fields<\/a> who was a speaker for Youth Specialties, then went on to be a youth pastor for Saddleback before returning back to work for Youth Specialties. Both Fields and Griffin have written books together and share a blog.<\/p>\n

In September, Awana sent out an e-mail invitation<\/a> to the 2015 National Youth Convention put on by Youth Specialties. Awana had a booth there.<\/p>\n

A link on the e-mail connects to a promotional video<\/a> where you see many people including Tony Campolo. Also Mark Matlock, the director of Youth Specialties tells his audience, \u201cYouth ministry reminds the church that teens are not marginalized members of the body, but are co-creators and conspirators in the divine work of the church.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is chilling considering that the words co-creators and conspirators are words associated with the New Age.<\/p>\n

Speakers of the conference<\/a> included such emerging church personalities as Doug Fields, Dan Kimball, Tony Campolo, Mike King<\/a>, Jim Burns<\/a>, and Alan Hirsch. Josh Griffin was the M.C. for the worship sessions.<\/p>\n

The convention also offered spiritual directors for one-on-one sessions.<\/p>\n

It is truly sad to see Awana linking hands with the emerging church movement.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/strong><\/p>\n

F.L.<\/strong><\/p>\n
