Lance Latham of Chicago had the vision for these Clubs back in the
early part of the last Century. He adapted the methods used by the
Boy Scouts, and incorporated the winning of badges in various areas.

- he added a dimension absolutely unique! He had the boys in the
beginning memorize chapters and even books of the Bible. Many
memorized the entire book of Romans. They not only memorized large
portions of Scripture - they learned how to meditate upon these
truths until they became “living words” in their lives. Over 50%
of the boys in some of the church clubs became missionaries and
pastors!</span></span></span></font></font></p>

1960 we incorporated these Clubs in the First Baptist Church of Round
Lake, Illinois. It had a distinct effect on our church, which soon
grew from 30 to 200 members. What Paul encouraged in Timothy, the
Awana Concept encouraged in our boys and girls of over 100 members!
What a blessing! Brother Yun, the Heavenly Man of China had the
leaders and members of the Home Churches he founded in the 70's - to
memorize chapters and Books of the Bible, and put them to music and
sing them! It is difficult to know the statistics of tens of millions
of these converts,- but their goal is to raise up 100,000
missionaries to send back to Jerusalem, evangelizing Hindus,
Buddhists and Muslims on the way. Martyrdom the price for many?
