Leonard and Pamela Friesen

Len was born in South America and moved to Niverville, MB with his family at the age of nine. There he attended a mid-week program where he became a Christian at the age of 12. Pam was raised in a Christian family in Winnipeg, MB and accepted Christ at a young age. She enjoyed going to the Awana club at her church and progressed through as a clubber, LIT and then a leader. Len and Pam met at Gimli Bible Camp and were married a year later in 1992.  Len was worked as an autobody technician and progressed through the company to become manager of the body shop before God called them into the Awana Ministry in 2003. Len’s first introduction to Awana was when he met Pam and they have been actively involved ever since. They live in Steinbach with their three children, Nathaniel, Colton and Rebecca. Len and Pam look forward to working with the local churches to reach boys, girls and their families for Christ. They are ready to counsel with pastors and leaders regarding the youth ministry of your church, and to present the Awana program. They are also available to conduct leadership training, sponsor area events, and speak at Awana presentations and other services in your church. Please feel free to contact them directly.
