Ministry in Action

Our Ministries

Good News Club®

Good News Club ministries take place in neighborhood settings such as homes, schools and community centers all over the world and are designed to bring the Gospel of Christ to children on their level in their environment.

5-Day Club®

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.

Christmas Party Clubs™

Many children today don’t regularly attend church and have never heard the true meaning of Christmas. Wouldn’t it be great if thousands of children learned about the Christ of Christmas this year?

Camp Good News®

The international Camp Good News program has been an active part of the ministry of CEF throughout the years. Using CEF owned or rented facilities, trained staff maintain an exciting program focused on evangelism and discipleship.

Military Children’s Ministry

Military life can be difficult for all involved. Children in military families need people in their lives to anchor them in Jesus Christ, the Rock of Ages. A Good News Club held in a home or school in a military neighborhood provides stability and life-changing truth.

Junior Youth Challenge®

Junior Youth Challenge is an evangelistic and discipleship ministry for young people ages 11-14. This ministry bridges the gap between Good News Club and the Christian Youth In Action program and encourages young people to go on to serve in CEF ministry through CYIA™.

FIND A LOCAL CHAPTER NEAR YOU

CEF’s mission reaches children around the world through dedicated local chapters. These chapters offer Christ-centered programs and activities that equip children with the Gospel message and help them develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

  • IHQ staff tend to decorate their offices with encouraging scripture that is meaningful to them. This Sunday, Savanah shares Joshua 1:9: Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. #sundayscriptures #CEF
  • Happy July! We are launching a new weekly series that highlights the good work the Lord is doing through local chapters of 𝘊𝘌𝘍. We’re kicking off our Chapter Check-Ins with 𝘊𝘌𝘍 of Chattanooga and the group of 𝘊𝘠𝘐𝘈 students who spent the summer training, serving, and sharing the Gospel. 𝘊𝘌𝘍 of Chattanooga writes: “What an incredible week we had at 𝘊𝘠𝘐𝘈 Training Camp! God moved powerfully in the hearts of young people who came ready to be equipped as summer missionaries. Throughout the week, they were trained to clearly present the Gospel to children. Whether it was in the classroom, during small group devotions, or late-night worship, it was clear: God is raising up a generation with a passion to reach the lost. One 𝘊𝘠𝘐𝘈 student said, 'I came nervous about teaching, but I’ve learned to trust God more—and now I’m excited to share the Gospel with kids!' That’s the heart of 𝘊𝘠𝘐𝘈. Their preparation is more than just training. It is worship. It is obedience. It is an act of surrender. And what they are about to do is eternal work — Kingdom work. They may never fully see the fruit of their labor on this side of heaven, but we believe with all our hearts that God will use each of them to plant seeds of salvation, to shine light in darkness, and to speak life into the hearts of countless children.” Follow 𝘊𝘌𝘍 of Chattanooga Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cefchattanooga Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cef_chattanooga

The harvest is plentiful. Child Evangelism Fellowship serves one of the largest mission fields in the world — children. Children make up 25 percent of the eight billion people on the planet. CEF workers have certainly seen that the harvest is plentiful.
Last year, our workers counseled over nine million children for salvation, but it is not enough! There are still vast areas of this world where the name of Jesus is not known.

Teaching Children to Serve God: Making Service a Priority | CEF

Jun 23, 2025

How many activities do you have planned for your family? I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel way too rushed trying to get from one activity to the next. I barely have time to think. But do we realize that the way we manage and schedule our time and our kid’s time teaches children what’s worth making time for? We want to show kids that it’s a priority to take time to serve God.

When I was four years old my mom opened our home to a Good News Club®. Though Mom was not saved, she would sit in the club each week and listen as the lesson was taught. One day after club I told my mom I wanted to be saved. My unsaved mom led me to the Lord, repeating what she had heard in club each week. Soon after that Mom was saved too. Today there are about 15 different family members in some form of Christian ministry—pastor, missionary, etc.

— Karen

When I was only three, I was led to the Lord by my brother who’d been trained in a Teaching Children Effectively courseTM. A couple of years later I started going to 5-Day Club® and Good News Club® then attended Christian Youth in Action® (CYIATM) and began teaching at age 12. After six fruitful years of summer ministry as a student and one as staff, I was excited to be called into the ministry full time and be following God’s path for my life. 

— Becca

I started to attend Good News Club® in Sioux City, Iowa when I was about four years old. My older brother went, and I liked to go along. I so clearly remember our teacher, dear Mrs. Dora Lock and her helper Betty Ritchie. She had GNC® in the basement of her home. I remember the day she had the lesson on the crucifixion like it was yesterday. She talked about how Jesus died to pay the price for our sins and all we had to do was believe on Him and accept His free gift. I was ready to accept him that day! I attended for several years and the Scripture that I memorized and the songs we sang have stuck with me to this day. I am forever grateful for my time spent in GNC and am loving being part of it again.

— Marta
