The Bianco family is very excited to be serving churches in Central/Southern Maryland, Washington DC and Northern Virginia!
Bill and Judi have been married for over twenty years. They were both born and raised in Ohio their entire lives before making the move to their current home in Bowie, Maryland. They have two children: Nick (15), and Noah (10). Before becoming Awana Missionaries, Bill served as an associate and senior pastor for 15 years in Leavittsburg, Ohio and Judi has been a stay-at-home mom and high school English teacher. Bill has been involved with Awana since 1982 but recently since 1997 where he started an Awana Club and served as the Commander in the church he pastored. Judi served in the Awana Club back in Ohio, first as a Sparks leader and then as the JV Director. She also earned the Awana Timothy Award as a child. They both served on the Northern Ohio Ministry Team for two years.
They began serving as Awana missionaries in August, 2004. God has shown Himself to their family in so many wonderful ways as they have been obedient to the calling of Missionaries with Awana Clubs International and His leading them to relocate to a different area of the country. They are often humbled as they see how God is working through them to share the Awana Ministry with churches in Central/Southern Maryland, Washington DC and Northern Virginia. His timing, His plans and His location are always perfect! They look forward to serving and strengthening churches as they reach their communities for Christ through Awana.

Our Support Needs:
Awana missionaries are 100-percent faith supported, which means we must raise all the funding for our ministry and living expenses. We are completely dependent upon the gifts of God's people to meet our living and working expenses.
We sincerely appreciate and thank God for each and every church, family, and individual who help to meet our support needs. We count it a great privilege to be your Awana Missionaries. If your church is supporting us, we thank you for deeming us a worthy ministry to invest in. At this time, we are receiving approximately 67% of our needed monthly ministry support, but $2,300 is still lacking.
If your church has not yet added us to their missions' budget, would you please ask them to consider our needs? We hope that one day all of our Awana churches will realize the importance and benefits of helping their Awana Missionary stay on the job. If you would like to partner with us, please complete the "Faith Promise Form" to establish a reoccuring mail-in donation or you can now donate online! May God richly bless you and your ministry for your faithfulness.
