Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario

Leonard and Pamela Friesen

Born in South America, Len moved to Niverville, MB with his family at the age of nine. He attended a mid-week program where he became a Christian and after much prayer the rest of his family also came to the Lord. Pam was born into a Christian family 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 a leader. Len was working as a cement truck driver and Pam was doing accounting bookwork when they met. Soon after they were married, Len returned to his original trade as an autobody technician progressing through the company to become manager of the body shop before God called them into the Awana Ministry.

Len's first introduction to Awana was when he met Pam. They have been actively involved in the local church. Len has been a Sunday School teacher, treasurer and Assistant Superintendent. He has also been an Awana Leader and Commander. Pam has been involved as a Sunday School teacher, on the Christian Education Committee, Awana Secretary and Treasurer for the Evangelical Free Church Central District. They currently 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 and girls 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.
