Introducing CEF
CEF stands for Child Evangelism Fellowship. They have been around since 1937 and their mission is to reach children worldwide. Let me tell you a little bit about it from their website.
Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF ) is a Bible-centered, worldwide organization that is dedicated to seeing every child reached with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, discipled and established in a local church.CEF has many different ministries for children, but the three primary ones are the Good News Club, the 5-Day Club and the Truth Chasers Club.
The Good News Club and 5-Day Club ministries take place in neighborhood settings such as homes, backyards, schools and community centers all over the world. These fast-paced, one-hour programs are designed to bring the Gospel of Christ to children on their level in their environment.
The Truth Chasers Club is an exciting Bible correspondence course designed to disciple children and adults. God has allowed us to reach over 483,000 people (70% of that number children) in more than 130 countries!
Along with these clubs, CEF also has fair, camping, open-air, and internet ministries for children. Last year through these combined ministries over 14 million children worldwide heard the good news.
CEF provides classes to train their workers and other Christians who are burdened for evangelizing children.
In fact, training Christians to effectively minister to children has been core to our ministry since it was founded in 1937. Training is offered throughout the USA and around the world through seminars, conferences, and formal courses.
The Children’s Ministries Institute, a modular 3-month course located at CEF International Headquarters in Warrenton, Missouri, is dedicated to providing quality, practical training for those called of God to take the Gospel message to children. Similar training is offered in various locations around the world. Courses are also offered online.
CEF Press produces and distributes Bible and missionary lessons and related materials for use in teaching children to help accomplish the goals of the ministry.
Teaching materials are available to the public. Visit our web store. Many products are translated into some 189 different languages and distributed around the world.
An exciting program for teenagers is Christian Youth In Action (CYIA).
In June all across the USA thousands of young people are trained to conduct 5-Day Clubs. Throughout the summer they have many opportunities to present the Gospel to boys and girls, experiencing the joy of leading others to the Lord.
An additional summer opportunity is Summer Missions. College-age adults are trained and teach 5-Day Clubs in large urban centers and in foreign countries. This program offers challenging, often times life-changing experiences that God has used to spiritually enrich many lives. Find out more about these opportunities.

GIVING

My children have done Backyard Bible Clubs for several years now. They love it. I recently was able to do a 5K for them as the company I work for (Tacss Financial Services) was sponsoring them. We had a great time and it was for a great cause!
