Harvey and Lil Fehr
Our Hope is that children & youth across BC come to
know,
love and
serve
the Lord Jesus Christ.
Harvey was raised in a Christian home in a farming community in Saskatchewan,
where, at 8 years of age he accepted Jesus as his Saviour.
After high school graduation, Harvey completed an apprenticeship as an optician
and continues to maintain his optician’s license. Lil was raised on a farm in
Saskatchewan and accepted Christ as her personal Saviour at 14 years of age after
her family moved to BC. After being high school sweethearts, Harvey and Lil were
married in 1980 and continued to work full time in their respective fields.
At their home church, Penticton Alliance, they were introduced to the Awana ministry,
and through this ministry, Harvey and Lil began to fully realize the Lordship of
Jesus Christ in their lives. After many years of service on the BC Awana Ministry Team
they became full time Awana Missionaries in 2000. This is a role that is fully supported
by prayer and donations from individual and church partners who believe in the importance
of ministering to children.
Harvey and Lil work together in the home office and travel throughout BC encouraging existing
club leadership, implementing interclub activities and assisting new churches as they minister
to children. Highlights to the road trips are visiting Awana Clubs in local churches and
working with the clubbers one on one.
Between road trips, many hours are spent in the home office corresponding with leaders and clubbers
and organizing events. These events include Bible Quiz Meets, AwanaGames, Sparks-A-Rama, Ministry
Conferences and Scholarship Camp. Basic, continuing & advanced training is an important component
of club ministry and a high percentage of their time is spent planning & implementing such opportunities.
Harvey and Lil are active in their local Awana Club and church in Kamloops. Their grown children,
Jason and CJ, also live in the Kamloops area.
If you are interested in Awana in BC, would like to partner with Harvey and Lil, or would like more
information on training or interclub events in BC, please feel free to contact Harvey & Lil directly.
May the Lord bless you richly as you minister to children and youth.
