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.

  • Today we’re checking in on 𝘊𝘌𝘍 of Northwest Tennessee. The fun 5-𝘋𝘢𝘺 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘣 photos they shared on Facebook caught our eye, so we wanted to learn more. 𝘊𝘌𝘍 of NWTN shares, “We had the privilege of holding two 5-Day clubs-- one for a local Christian preschool and one for a local church. At the preschool, the children were very attentive to our 'special agents' and every day they had a case to help us solve. We acted out a Bible scene daily with them participating. My favorite was the feeding of the 5,000 because I told them that I had only brought two packs of Goldfish and five Rice Krispy treats for them to share. They were so sweet because they said, ‘It's ok - we know how to share!’ But I had more in a bucket that I made to look empty by covering the snacks with colored cloths! At another 5-𝘋𝘢𝘺 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘣, we were able to minister to mostly older children aged nine and up. After the first night, the students really warmed up to us and we had a blast. I was able to encourage one young lady to begin going to 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘕𝘦𝘸𝘴 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘣 at her school next year. Praying that her mom will say yes! In addition, I encouraged 4 of the attendees to think about joining us next year for our 𝘊𝘠𝘐𝘈 events that we have throughout the year and helping us in 5-𝘋𝘢𝘺 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘣 next year! Praying they all will!

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.

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.

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
