4 Reasons to Memorize Scripture
Set your hearts on all the words which I testify
among you today, which you shall command your

4 Reasons to Memorize Scripture
For as the rain comes down, and the snow from
heaven, And do not return there, but water the
earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it
may give seed to the sower and bread to the
eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from
My mouth
It shall not return to Me void, But it shall
accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in
the thing for which I sent it.

4 Reasons to Memorize Scripture
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness,
that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly
equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 316-17

Ways Kids Will Benefit

• When Scripture is in their hearts

12
Introducing C2X 06

• A national initiative
• to encourage Awana children and youth
• to increase the amount of Scripture memorized
• to lengthen the retention of that Scripture, and
• to strengthen obedience to it.

13
PowerUP

• What will we try to do?
• The object
• More Scripture
• Learn more verses
• More deeplyin
• Increase retention
• More hearts.
• Emphasize application

• How will we measure it?
• The easy measure
• More Awana books completed
• The real objective
• More children with a Biblical worldview

14
Vital Signs

• Are general indicators of health
• Like blood pressure and pulse, vital signs of an
  Awana Club give us a general idea of its health

15
Vital Signs

• of an Awana club
• Attendance
• Handbook completion
• An Awana club that has both healthy attendance
  and a healthy handbook completion percentage is
  likely a healthy club.

16
The Two C2X National Initiatives
In 2005 focused on kid-to-kid evangelism measured by club attendance
In 2006 focused on deepening and broadening Scripture memory measured by handbook completion
