Meet Chris Rider, our Game Director here at Awana at New Hope! Chris manages games for Sparks and T&T - and each week he teaches our clubbers the values of good sportsmanship, supporting each other, and trying their best - all while having a blast!
Q: Why did you join Awana?
A: Because my wife wanted to start the program at our church, and I wanted to support her!
Q: What do you enjoy the most as an Awana leader?
A: I guess I enjoy being able to have fun with the kids!
Q: We have a fairly new ministry - less than a year old! Have any issues come up during game time that you've found a solution for? What advice would you give a brand new game director?
A: We lost our circle after a rainstorm, so we had to improvise for a few months. Also, it was cold and dark during winter, so we had to do our games indoors. I would say, be prepared to have a way to do your games indoors, just in case.
Q: What is the most valuable thing the kids get out of game time?
A: They learn to work together. Teamwork is a skill they'll need for the rest of their lives!
Thanks, Chris! See you at Games!
