Exciting news! I will be spending part of my summer as a local Missionary, serving with Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF). CEF is an interdenominational faith missionary organization that reaches boys and girls with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
As a Missionary, I will be teaching 5-Day Clubs (Bible Clubs) throughout our local area. I will also be serving and teaching at Camp Good News, a church camp that my brother Sam will be attending! The special training I will receive is called CYIA (Christian Youth in Action). The training will take place at Indiana Wesleyan - I'm super excited!
I feel called to serve as a Missionary because I went to the CEF retreat with a friend and felt called to serve. I enjoy being around, teaching, and helping children. I want to be able to help children, not only in my community but in others as well. I want to help this upcoming generation develope a good relationship with God and build their knowledge from a young age.
CEF is dependent on God for financial needs. Therefore, I am asking God to raise up a support team who will pray and give financially. Funds raised will be used for training, travel, and other expenses when holding clubs. The total funds I need to raise is $1100.00. Funds given over this amount will help our team to continue to expand the ministry to local children throughout the year. Will you pray and ask God how He would have you be a part of my ministry the summer (and beyond)?
Thank you so much, Anna
Missionaries attend one week of training called CYIA (Christian Youth In Action). Training includes teaching Bible lessons, sharing the Gospel, counseling for salvation, and much more. Training equips them to reach children in partnership with CEF and Local Churches year-round. Many teaching opportunities are available such as Camp Good News, Good News Clubs, Five Day Clubs, and Party Clubs.
Statistics tell us that 80% of the children in the United States do not attend church. How will they hear unless we go tell them?
You may notice that some missionaries need to raise more support than others. The reason for this is they served for a longer period of time this summer, and were paid staff summer missionaries. Serving was their summer job! A workman is worthy of his labor!! If you have any questions about CEF and our ministries please contact our local CEF coordinator, Bridget Back at 812-756-1694.
Thank you for prayerfully considering supporting our ministry this summer.
