Introducing the CEF^® Ministry Advancement Team

You may have met or received a letter from one of our Ministry Advancement staff. They are responsible for calling on our ministry's friends, answering their questions about CEF and presenting ministry opportunities.Please allow us to formally introduce the team.

Nerus is the fearless leader of the team. She and her husband, "Doc" live in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. They have three grown sons and six grandchildren. Nerus also specializes in estate planning.

                                        Is Your House in Order?

• An up-to-date trust and/or will with a letter of instructions
• A list insurance policies owned, with benefits, special provisions and how proceeds are payable
• A list of investments
• A list of assets and liabilities
• A memorandum of general information and personal data
• Instructions for your heirs

Why not take time now to make sure your house is in order - to make sure your estate design will accomplish your desires for distribution - to make sure it will protect you from estate taxes, retirement fund taxes, and probate delays. Changes in financial situations, beneficiaries, tax laws, or your desires can make your estate plans obsolete.

Here are some ways we can help you assure your house is in order:

• Estate Design
• Gift Annuities
• Life Estate Agreements
• Revocable Trusts
• Charitable Remainder Trusts

Nerus McEwen will be glad to provide an estate planning guide to help you prepare and discuss the opportunities available to you. This service is offered to you with no cost or obligation.

Legacy Changers, Breaking the Chains

More than two million children in the United States have a parent in prison. These precious little ones are seven times more likely to be incarcerated at some time in their lives than children from the same environment whose parents have not been imprisoned.

CEF Mailbox Club™

Child Evangelism Fellowship® offers a discipleship correspondence program for children that we call the CEF Mailbox Club. The CEF Mailbox Club includes a series of age appropriate Bible lessons plus two 365 page devotional books. The child completes and mails the lesson. A new lesson is returned in 48 hours. Each lesson is personally graded and prayer requests remembered individually. The CEF Mailbox Club program is provided FREE to any child and is operated almost entirely by volunteers. Current enrollment is over 145,000. Most children enrolled are unchurched - many are at risk. Please Note! We have a matching grant that will increase your gift by 50%. A gift of $100 will become $150 and a gift of $1,000 will become $1,500

Wonder Book

CEF was approached by another ministry asking if we would design a 64 page soft bound book that they could use in reaching the Muslim children of North Africa for Christ. They said the book should be written to someone who knows nothing about God and the Bible. Our writers took up the challenge and in just three days wrote the Wonder Book. It was initially available in two languages, Arabic and French, but has since been translated into over 75 languages.

Boxes of Books

CEF specializes in producing outstanding full color Bible story visuals for workers as they present the Gospel to children’s groups and clubs around the world. In many third world countries CEF trained workers have little or no literature. Most live on a basic income of $200 to $300 per month; there are no extras. You can provide $100 worth of visualized Bible lessons and songs to one of these dedicated workers for a gift of $50 plus $15 shipping.

Good News In Public Schools

The Supreme Court ruled in 2001 that Child Evangelism Fellowship can hold after school Bible Clubs in public elementary schools. Local CEF organizations across the USA are seeking individual and local church sponsorship as they target every public elementary school in America. A gift of $500 will sponsor one school. All gifts are appreciated. For more information request Breaking the Silence. We don't know how long the door will be open!

SPAN

Highly trained, carefully supervised CEF children's workers in third world countries are available for immediate, full time ministry in reaching children for Christ. They already know the culture and language and are a part of their community. Support of $200 per month, (the typical salary of a teacher in their country) can fund a worker in these poor countries where resources are severely limited. This is a fantastic opportunity. Foreign workers may be asked to leave but SPAN workers remain.

Every Child Project

You can make an eternal difference in your community. Organize an Every Child project using the amazing Wonder Book! The Wonder Book has become a ministry phenomenon with over 13 million copies currently in print. The book has been printed or is being printed in more than 75 languages. Each book presents the plan of salvation and offers the reader the opportunity to accept Christ and to enroll in The CEF Mailbox Club. God is using this little 64 page book to open the door of salvation to children and adults alike in record numbers.

Operation Wonder Why

The tsunami that devastated South Asia the day after Christmas was one of the deadliest disasters in modern history. In addition to the staggering number of people who died as a direct result of the tragedy, many more then faced suffering in the months to come due to disease and homelessness. People around the world are asking why such heartbreaking catastrophes happen. Child Evangelism Fellowship created the Wonder Why track to give to be given out to those facing suffering to answer the questions of why God lets these things happen.
