Sharing the Good News of Jesus

During the CEF International Conference in May, we focused on building ministry highways to reach 100 million children annually by 2032. We heard incredible testimonies from missionaries who share the Good News of Jesus with children around the world, and some of these stories are included in this edition. We look to God to empower us to continue sharing the Good News of Jesus with even more children.

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

  • Meet John Mark Halakua, our Vanuatu and Asia Pacific missionary! In early 1998, I went through nearly two months of serious illness. During that difficult time, a person who prayed for my recovery introduced me to the Lord. At 23 years old, I surrendered my life to Him. Ever since, I have clung with gratitude to the promises found in John 10:28-29. I am deeply grateful for the inspiration I received from Misook and Ezra, a Korean missionary couple I met in Vanuatu in 2009. Their example and encouragement played a significant role in my decision to pursue training and dedicate myself to serving with 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘌𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘮 𝘍𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱®. We had the privilege of conducting a Children’s Prayer Club (CPC) during the Presbyterian Church’s Sunday School Convention. We were blessed with an attendance of 70 children, and we rejoice that 22 of them made decisions for salvation. Please join me in praying that God will call more teachers to partner with 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘌𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘮 𝘍𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱, receive training, and help us reach even more children and youth through 𝘎𝘕𝘊, 𝘊𝘠𝘐𝘈, 𝘊𝘗𝘊, and 𝘑𝘠𝘊 ministries. Thank you for your continued support and prayers. Your donation allows John Mark to faithfully serve the Lord with 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘌𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘮 𝘍𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 of Vanuatu. Will you come alongside John Mark today?

Using Technology in Sunday School: Teaching with Tech

Using Technology in Sunday School: Teaching with Tech

Dec 22, 2025

Does the phrase, “Teaching with technology in Sunday school” make you say “YES!” or “Uh oh!”? I’ll admit, I’m a little of both. My personal collection of smart devices is very small and my church doesn’t have a ton of tech stuff in our classrooms either.

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
